Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2020-25078

Remote disclosure of the administrator password is the payoff for attackers exploiting this flaw in D-Link DCS-2530L and DCS-2670L cameras, and with a 98 percent EPSS score it is being attempted constantly. CISA listed it in August 2025 and notes the products may be end-of-life, meaning no patch is coming. A camera with a harvestable admin credential is both a surveillance liability and a botnet recruit.

Do this: Remove DCS-2530L and DCS-2670L cameras from service, or isolate them on a network segment with no internet reachability.
