A security vulnerability related to video retrieval services in Security Center 5.14.0.0 has been identified by the Genetec engineering team. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation.

Risk assessment

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability (CVE-2026-55727) could result in unintended retrieval of live video content.

Details

A flaw in the validation logic for video stream requests was introduced in Security Center 5.14.0.0, resulting in the incomplete verification of client authentication when retrieving live video.

While customers using  video encryption via the fusion stream  are affected, the impact is greatly reduced because no video playback is possible.

Recommendation

Customers are strongly advised to install the  mandatory hotfix for 5.14.0.0  as soon as possible. Applying the patch ensures proper enforcement of authentication checks and fully mitigates the risk of unauthorized access to video streams.

Workarounds

If customers cannot apply the remediation in a timely fashion,  enabling fusion stream video encryption or restricting network access to trusted systems can help reduce exposure.
