CVE-2022-37061 Public exploit EPSS 99.6%
All FLIR AX8 thermal sensor cameras version up to and including 1.46.16 are vulnerable to Remote Command Injection
Summary
The FLIR AX8 thermal sensor cameras, all versions up to and including 1.46.16, contain a remote command injection flaw in the res.php endpoint, where the id HTTP POST parameter is passed unsanitised to the operating system shell. An attacker who can send HTTP requests to the affected endpoint, with no authentication described as required, can inject arbitrary shell commands that run with root privileges on the underlying device.
Official description · CVE.org
All FLIR AX8 thermal sensor cameras version up to and including 1.46.16 are vulnerable to Remote Command Injection. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands as the root user through the id HTTP POST parameter in the res.php endpoint. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with the root privileges. NOTE: The vendor has stated that with the introduction of firmware version 1.49.16 (Jan 2023) the FLIR AX8 should no longer be affected by the vulnerability reported. Latest firmware version (as of Oct 2025, was released Jun 2024) is 1.55.16.
