Axis is actively working to strengthen product security. In late 2024, the company expanded its bug bounty program, opening it to all security researchers and ethical hackers with a Bugcrowd account. Statistics show that in 2025, Axis had 2 security vulnerabilities published, and as of mid-2026, there have been 0 vulnerabilities in Axis products. While this might indicate improved security, the high severity of the discovered vulnerabilities serves as a stark reminder that network-connected physical security systems must remain a top priority for cybersecurity teams worldwide. By keeping your Axis devices patched, you ensure
No. If the vulnerability is in the camera’s firmware (e.g., the way it handles RTSP requests), then any client—whether it’s Milestone, Genetec, or VLC—will be affected. The patch must be applied at the camera level. Step 1: Identify Your Firmware Version Axis is
