Edimax’s Decade-Old Camera Vulnerability: A Comedy of Errors or Just Plain Neglect?
Edimax’s legacy IP cameras are as vulnerable as a piñata at a kid’s birthday party. The CVE-2025-1316 flaw, exploited by Mirai-based botnets, remains unpatched since the product’s retirement over a decade ago. Edimax advises users to change default credentials and avoid internet exposure, but hey, who needs security updates anyway?
Hot Take:
Ah, Edimax, the company that’s truly ahead of its time—by at least a decade, apparently! Who knew that buying an IP camera was like buying a fine wine: gets better (or worse) with age? While they might not be able to patch a vulnerability from their tech relics, at least they’re consistent in their commitment to yesterday’s technology.
Key Points:
- A critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-1316, has been found in Edimax IC-7100 IP cameras.
- The product was discontinued over a decade ago, making patching impossible.
- Akamai confirms the vulnerability has been exploited by Mirai-based botnets.
- Edimax advises users to shield devices from the internet and update credentials.
- CISA has yet to add this vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
