Summary
Vilar VS-IPC1002 IP cameras are vulnerable to Reflected XSS (Cross-site Scripting) attacks,...
Vilar VS-IPC1002 IP cameras are vulnerable to Reflected XSS (Cross-site Scripting) attacks, because parameters in GET requests sent to /cgi-bin/action endpoint are not sanitized properly, making it possible to target logged in admin users.
The vendor did not respond in any way. Only version 1.1.0.18 was tested, other versions might be vulnerable as well.
Impact
Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session. Typical impact: session or credential theft, and actions taken as the user.
CVE-2025-53701 has a CVSS score of 6.1 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. No fixed version is listed yet, so configuration controls and monitoring matter more in the interim.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2025-53701? CVE-2025-53701 is a medium-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. No fixed version is listed yet. Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session.
- How severe is CVE-2025-53701? CVE-2025-53701 has a CVSS score of 6.1 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-53701? No fixed version is listed for CVE-2025-53701 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is CVE-2025-53701 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-53701 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2025-53701 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
