Many Hikvision IP cameras have improper authorization logic that allows unauthenticated information disclosure of camera information, such as detailed hardware and software configuration, user credentials, and camera snapshots. The vulnerability has been present in Hikvision products since 2014. In addition to Hikvision-branded devices, it affects many white-labeled camera products sold under a variety of brand names. Hundreds of thousands of vulnerable devices are still exposed to the Internet at the time of publishing (shodan search: "App-webs" "200 OK"). This module allows the attacker to retrieve this information without any authentication. The information is stored in loot for future use.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
