Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-11142 is a remote code execution vulnerability in the VAPIX API's mediaclip.cgi endpoint due to insufficient input validation, classified under CWE-78 (OS Command Injection). It affects Axis devices or software exposing this API. The vulnerability received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H) and was published on 2026-02-10.
An attacker must first authenticate with an operator- or administrator-privileged service account to exploit the flaw over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables remote code execution, primarily impacting availability with high severity while causing low integrity disruption and no confidentiality loss.
Axis has issued an advisory providing details on the vulnerability, available at https://www.axis.com/dam/public/18/0e/90/cve-2025-11142pdf-en-US-519291.pdf. Security practitioners should consult this document for specific mitigation steps and available patches.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.
Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.
Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
