CVE-2025-66050 is a critical-severity Use of Default Password (CWE-1393) vulnerability in Vivotek Ip7137 Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 9.3 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Default Accounts (T1078.001); ranked at the 27th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to CM-6 (Configuration Settings) and IA-5 (Authenticator Management) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-66050 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability affecting the Vivotek IP7137 IP camera running firmware version 0200a. By default, the device does not require a password for administrator login, despite the option to configure one existing. Users are not prompted or informed about the need to set a password, leaving the admin interface exposed. The issue is tracked under CWE-1393 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). All firmware versions may be vulnerable, as the vendor has not responded to the CNA.
Remote attackers require no privileges or user interaction to exploit this vulnerability over the network. An unauthenticated adversary can log in directly as an administrator, gaining full control over the camera. This allows high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as viewing live feeds, modifying configurations, or disrupting device operations.
The referenced advisory at https://cert.pl/posts/2026/01/CVE-2025-66049 notes that the vendor has not replied to coordination efforts. The product has reached end-of-life, so no patches or fixes are expected to be released.
Security practitioners should isolate or decommission affected Vivotek IP7137 cameras, as no mitigations are available from the vendor. Network segmentation and monitoring for unauthorized admin access are recommended interim controls.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Authenticator management requires verification of identity at initial distribution and secure handling that directly stops default passwords from remaining in use.
Configuration settings establish the most restrictive secure baselines, which include changing or disabling default passwords.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Credential management directly requires replacing default passwords with unique, strong credentials.
Hardened configuration baselines explicitly prohibit default passwords, covering most of the weakness but not all identity-management aspects.
Vulnerability scanning will discover default-password instances, enabling remediation, yet does not itself prevent their initial use.
Authentication policies can enforce non-default passwords but do not address the full scope of credential lifecycle.
Authorization policies assume credentials already exist and are not default; least-privilege helps limit impact but does not prevent defaults.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Mandates secure handling and change of authentication secrets, directly addressing default passwords.
Configuration management processes typically enforce changing defaults during hardening.
Requires secure authentication mechanisms, which includes replacing or disabling default credentials.
Utility programs often ship with defaults; control requires secure configuration before use.
Privileged accounts must not retain factory passwords, reducing risk of default-credential abuse.
