Overview

CVE-2026-55863 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 15, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3, rated MEDIUM. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

motionEye (mEye) is an online interface for a piece of software called "motion," which is a video surveillance program with motion detection. Prior to 0.44.0, the ActionHandler.post() method in motioneye/handlers/action.py lacks the BaseHandler.auth() decorator, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to send requests to /action/<camera_id>/<action>. The endpoint can trigger snapshot, record_start, and record_stop actions. When an administrator has configured action scripts, the same endpoint can invoke PTZ controls, alarm actions, lighting actions, and other predefined commands, and configured remote motionEye cameras can allow server-side requests to the remote camera service. This issue is fixed in version 0.44.0.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
