# AXIS Camera Station Pro: database backups open to offline credential attacks

Database backups made by AXIS Camera Station Pro before the patched version can be attacked offline, without the running system. An attacker who gets a backup file can recover the credentials stored in the software.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed AXIS Camera Station Pro version against the patched release named in the vendor advisory (unknown in the sources)
- Look for backup files created before the update, and the extra recovery backup made when the update was applied (location unknown in the sources)

## Fix

- Update AXIS Camera Station Pro to the patched version (exact version unknown in the sources)
- Delete all database backups made before the update, including the recovery backup created during it
- Change the credentials stored in AXIS Camera Station Pro

## Timeline

## From the sources

Database backups are vulnerable to offline attacks. Backups created using a version prior to the patched version are still vulnerable. AXIS Camera Station Pro automatically creates one more such backup for recovery purpose when the update is applied. Delete all these backups and change the credentials stored in AXIS Camera Station Pro.
