A proof of concept exploit for two authentication bypass vulnerabilities in Dahua cameras is available online, users are recommended to immediately apply updates.

Experts warn of the availability of proof of concept (PoC) exploit code for a couple of authentication bypass vulnerabilities in Dahua cameras, tracked as CVE-2021-33044 and CVE-2021-33045. 

A remote attacker can exploit both vulnerabilities by sending specially crafted data packets to the vulnerable cameras.
