Hikvision has identified a significant command execution vulnerability impacting multiple models of its wireless access points. This vulnerability could allow authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands on affected devices.

An advisory was issued on Tue, Jan 30, 2026, highlighting the security flaw and advising customers to implement patches without delay.

The vulnerability, designated as CVE-2026-0709, is due to inadequate input validation in the firmware of Hikvision's wireless access points.

With valid credentials, attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending maliciously crafted packets to compromised devices, allowing the execution of commands and bypassing security protocols.

Hikvision has ranked this vulnerability with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2, indicating high severity. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) suggests the flaw is remotely exploitable, has low attack complexity, and requires high-level privileges.

This vulnerability affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of impacted systems and involves six models from Hikvision's DS-3WAP series. Devices running firmware version V1.1.6303 build 250812 or earlier are vulnerable.

A patched firmware version, V1.1.6601 build 251223, has been released to address this issue. Organizations utilizing the affected access points should update to this version immediately. Patches are available through Hikvision's official support portal.

The vulnerability was identified and reported by an independent security researcher to Hikvision's Security Response Center.
