Description

Axis Communications acknowledges the importance and hard work performed by security researchers. Thank you for working with us to help increase the security in our products and joining into our program! Report Assessment and Bounty Calculations: This program will use the CVSS v3.1 rating system (Common Vulnerability Scoring System). Axis may assess the vulnerability accordingly to its relevance in the context of how Axis recommends deploying its products, software, and services. In any instance where an issue is downgraded or upgraded, a full, detailed explanation will be provided. Axis will validate all submissions against the latest AXIS OS 13 device software available on axis.com . Vulnerabilities that affect only earlier software versions are out of scope and are not eligible for a bounty. P1 = CVSSv3.1 critical (9.0 – 10.0) P2 = CVSSv3.1 high (7.0 – 8.9) P3 = CVSSv3.1 medium (4.0 – 6.9) P4 = CVSSv3.1 low (0.1 – 3.9) Reward payout: Rewards are paid out directly once the submission is accepted as valid submission. Researchers will also receive a one-time-only swag reward in form of a AXIS M1075-L free of charge (MSRP $350) for submissions that result in a CVE-ID. An additional bonus of up to $10.000 may be rewarded for exceptional submissions to Axis discretion. The maximum bonus will always be rewarded in accepted P1/Critical submissions. Bypass reward We welcome submissions that can bypass previously disclosed AXIS OS CVEs. If your submission is deemed valid, you will be eligible for a one-time reward of $500 per CVE. If you share new insights or techniques that increase the impact of the CVE, we'll reassess the vulnerability. In these cases, the payout will match the updated severity level, which could exceed the $500 reward. Disclosure Policy: Axis as authorized Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) Numbering Authority (CNA) discloses all vulnerabilities found in the Bug Bounty Program accordingly as outlined in the Axis Vulnerability Management Policy . Eligibility and Fairness: To maintain the integrity and fairness of our bug bounty program, individuals who are currently employed by Axis or who were previously employed by Axis, are not eligible to receive rewards for vulnerabilities identified through the use of internal knowledge gained during their employment. If you are aware of a vulnerability as a result of current or past employment, we still encourage you to disclose it responsibly. While such reports may not qualify for a monetary reward, they will be reviewed and addressed with the same level of priority as all other submissions. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us ensure a transparent and equitable program for the wider security research community. By participating in this program, you acknowledge and agree that Axis may enforce Bugcrowd’s Standard Disclosure Terms if you breach any provision therein. Axis EULA applies when accessing Axis devices through the Bug Bounty Program .

Targets

In-Scope Products All targets accessible in the Target & Access Information. All Axis-branded products, software and services that are not listed in the In-Scope Products section are automatically out of scope. Out-of-Scope Vulnerabilities It is by design that selected VAPIX (e.g. BasicDeviceInfo.cgi) and ONVIF (e.g. WSDLs) API endpoints provide basic device information such as software version, model number and other information that do not require authentication to access and are available anonymously. Access to the device is granted through the SSH console to allow researchers to test efficiently. Vulnerabilities requiring local system access, including system-level issues such as D-Bus authorization bypasses, are out of scope unless they enable vertical privilege escalations. For example, escalations from VAPIX users to the Linux root user and from regular SSH users to the root user. Vulnerabilities caused by user configurations that could be prevented by following the Axis OS Hardening Guide . User uploaded created content or applications, for instance ACAPs that can be uploaded and run on Axis devices. Social-engineered attacks such as Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) or Cross-Site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities and/or that trick the user into accessing a malicious website or clicking on a disguised link while accessing the web interface of Axis devices. Vulnerabilities in Axis-branded pre-installed or uploaded applications (ACAPs), for instance AXIS Object Analytics or AXIS Video Motion Detection. Vulnerabilities listed by 3rd party network security scanners such as 3rd party and open-source component vulnerabilities or missing HTTP(S) security headers such as X-Frame-Options. Any DoS type attack such as resource exhaustion of a device through normal API usage with modified parameter inputs, high frequency API calls or using slowloris attacks. Errors in API documentation. GUI flaws/errors that can be corrected through the VAPIX/Onvif API. Attacks that depends on Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) conditions. Functionality restricted by feature flags . The targets in this program contain a custom script that makes sure device passwords are reset in a specific interval to ensure access. This script and it's functionality is out-of-scope for this program.

AXIS OS (in scope)

Target & Access Information: You are testing AXIS OS. AXIS OS is our Linux based operating system for edge devices. It is used in more than 400 products. While Axis does currently not provide direct access to embedded devices running the target (AXIS OS) we accept any findings if within scope. Recommendations and how-to API endpoints for testing are documented here VAPIX library Many parameters are listed also under this API endpoint https://ip-address/axis-cgi/param.cgi?action=list. How to manage these parameters see this section in VAPIX library Browsing the built-in web interface of the device and using the F12-browser console can also be used to lookup API endpoints For privilege escalations, accounts with different privileges (administrator, operator, viewer) can be created using the built-in web interface The administrator, operator or viewer accounts can be used for web-interface (HTTPS) and VAPIX/ONVIF API interfaces access only. Do not change the root password or factory default the device.
