CVE-2026-0541

ACAP applications can gain elevated privileges due to improper input validation during the installation process, potentially leading to privilege escalation. This vulnerability can only be exploited if the Axis device is configured to allow the installation of unsigned ACAP applications, and if an attacker convinces the victim to install a malicious ACAP application.

Summary		(es) Las aplicaciones ACAP pueden obtener privilegios elevados debido a una validación de entrada incorrecta durante el proceso de instalación, lo que podría conducir a una escalada de privilegios. Esta vulnerabilidad solo puede ser explotada si el dispositivo Axis está configurado para permitir la instalación de aplicaciones ACAP no firmadas, y si un atacante convence a la víctima para que instale una aplicación ACAP maliciosa.
