# Axis VAPIX SIP API: weak input checks allow privilege escalation for admins

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-14542 (this .md is for agents)

The VAPIX SIP configuration API on Axis devices does not validate input well enough. An attacker who already holds an admin-privileged service account can use it to escalate privileges.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## From the sources

The VAPIX SIP configuration API lacked sufficient input validation, which could potentially lead to privilege
escalation. This flaw can only be exploited after authenticating with an admin-privileged service
account.
