CVE-2026-38740 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-38740: Foscam VD1 Video Doorbell before V5.3.13_1072 is vulnerable to Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information. The device transmits sensitive Session Description Protocol (SDP), including ICE credentials and candidates, in cleartext over network interfaces. An attacker with network visibility can intercept these credentials to hijack media streams or authenticate to Foscam's TURN/relay infrastructure to forward arbitrary traffic at the vendor's expense.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-38740

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-38740 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-38740

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-38740.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-38740, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis
