Summary

CVE-2026-33469 is a medium-severity Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) vulnerability in Frigate Frigate. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Credentials In Files (T1552.001); ranked at the 16th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Frigate is a network video recorder (NVR) with realtime local object detection for IP cameras. In version 0.17.0, an authenticated non-admin user can retrieve the full raw Frigate configuration through `/api/config/raw`. This exposes sensitive values that are intentionally redacted from…

more

`/api/config`, including camera credentials, go2rtc stream credentials, MQTT passwords, proxy secrets, and any other secrets stored in `config.yml`. This appears to be a broken access control issue introduced by the admin-by-default API refactor: `/api/config/raw_paths` is admin-only, but `/api/config/raw` is still accessible to any authenticated user. Version 0.17.1 contains a patch.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1552.001 Credentials In Files Credential Access
Adversaries may search local file systems and remote file shares for files containing insecurely stored credentials.
Why these techniques?

Broken access control on /api/config/raw directly exposes credentials stored in config.yml to non-admin users.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces authorization decisions so that only admin users can access /api/config/raw containing unredacted credentials.

prevent

Ensures non-admin accounts receive only the minimum privileges needed, preventing exposure of camera/MQTT/proxy secrets via the raw config endpoint.

prevent

Controls information flows between API endpoints so that sensitive configuration data is not released to unauthorized roles.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Defining, enforcing, and reviewing access authorizations and least privilege directly prevents incorrect authorization checks.

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.

prevents

Requiring consistency between access rights and classification plus formal approval steps ensures that the authorization logic correctly distinguishes between entities that should and should not be granted access.

prevents

Enforcing policy-driven approval and role-change reviews stops incorrect or stale authorization decisions from remaining in effect after job changes or terminations.

prevents

By tying access rights to identity, device, location and classification, the control reduces the likelihood that an authorization decision will be based on an incorrect or bypassed policy.
