Do these vulnerabilities exist if you have them connected behind a firewall without enabling internet access/upnp? Surely the firewall would block access given the types of vulnerabilities exposed here?

What you're describing is probably the only safe way to operate these devices until Foscam releases a firmware update that fixes these flaws.

Yeah I've always considered them to be open to vulnerabilities so have never had them connected directly. Fingers crossed they don't expose a firewalled network any other way...

Unverifiable update: It appears that the U.S. Foscam company has been emailing customers to clarify that this is a problem with the Chinese Foscam company. https/meh.com/forum/topics/foscam-camera-vulnerabilities

I can confirm the Foscam email, as I have received one as well. Also looks like they stopped sales on their website.
