Hikvision Wi-Fi IP Cameras associate to a default unencrypted rogue SSIDs in a 
wired configuration
Full disclosure
Nov 27, 2017

Synopsis:
---
HikVision Wi-Fi IP cameras come with a default SSID "davinci", with a setting 
of no WiFi encryption or authentication. Depending on the firmware version, 
there is no configuration option within the camera to turn off Wi-Fi. If a 
camera is deployed via wired ethernet, then the WiFi settings won’t be 
adjusted, and a rogue AP with the SSID "davinci" can be associated to the 
camera to provide a new attack vector via WiFi to a wired network camera.

Risk:
---
The security exposure provides an unexpected attack surface via Wi-Fi in a 
camera deployed in a wired environment.  Devices running a firmware prior to 
v5.4.5 can be attacked via an access control bypass.

The camera will also do a DHCP on its wireless interface, so the rogue AP 
subnet would get preference versus a L3 adjacent NVR/viewer, performing a 
denial of service.

Mitigation:
---
The mitigation since the Wi-Fi cannot be turned off, is to specify a complex 
WPA2-PSK AES key.  With this the camera will try to associate to a wireless PSK 
that doesn’t exist, and it is unlikely that the attacker will be able to guess 
the complex key.
Via the web interface:
Configuration -> Network -> Advanced Settings -> Wi-Fi
Set Security Mode to: “WPA2-personal”
Set Encryption Type to: “AES”
Set Key 1 to: A random long string of characters
Enable WPS: Uncheck

Vulnerability details:
---
Tested Model Number (Confirmed): DS-2CD2432F-IW
Tested Firmware Versions (Confirmed): 5.3.0, 5.4.0, 5.4.5
Exploit:  Camera is hardwired via ethernet.  Wi-Fi is unconfigured (by default).
Set up a rogue Wi-Fi access point with an SSID of "davinci" with no encryption.
The camera will associate with the rogue access point.  There is no 
configuration option for the administrator to turn off WiFi. If the rogue 
access point offers DHCP the camera will get a dynamic address and be remotely 
accessible within Wi-Fi range. Combined with previous firmware exploits an 
attacker could remotely exploit or disable the camera simply by being within 
Wi-Fi range.  The attack also circumvents any wired network security that may 
have been deployed on that segment, such as Firewalls, ACLs, turning off UPnP.
