What to do now

  1. Check whether the Geutebruck IP Camera G-Cam/EFD-2250 is running firmware version 1.11.0.12.
  2. If it is 1.11.0.12, assume it is reachable and could be targeted from the network; immediately remove any direct internet exposure for this camera (e.g., disable port-forwarding and block external access at your router/firewall).
  3. Contact your camera vendor/support for an official fixed firmware or mitigation for CVE-2017-5174; no patch version is currently identified from available information.
  4. If you cannot obtain a fixed firmware quickly, plan to replace the device or migrate to a supported, patched camera model, and isolate the camera on a separate VLAN/guest network so a compromise can’t reach other business systems.
May need vendor / contractor work
