The Axis Real-Time Picture Encoder Chip (ARTPEC) is a system on a chip (SoC) developed by Axis Communications.{{Cite web |last=Viklund |first=Lars |title=Introduction to Hardware Verification |url=https://www.isy.liu.se/edu/kurs/TSEA44/forelasning/Introduction_to_Hardware_Verification.pdf}} There are currently nine generations of the chip, all of which run AXIS OS, a modified version of Linux designed for embedded devices. Not all products developed by Axis Communications use its custom chip. The chip is typically found in high-performance devices such as higher-end cameras, while lower-cost devices use SoCs from Ambarella.{{Cite web |last=ipvideomarket |date=2019-08-30 |title=How To See If Your Camera Uses Huawei Hisilicon Chips |url=https://ipvm.com/reports/hisilicon-check |access-date=2022-07-23 |website=IPVM |language=en}}

In October 2021, cybersecurity research firm Nozomi Networks published "three new vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-31986, CVE-2021-31987, CVE-2021-31988) affecting all Axis devices based on the embedded AXIS OS."{{cite web |url=https://www.nozominetworks.com/blog/new-axis-os-security-research-aided-by-transparent-design/ |title=New Axis OS Security Research Aided by Transparent Design |author=Nozomi Networks Labs |date=2021-10-05 |website=Nozomi Networks |publisher=NOZOMI NETWORKS INC. |access-date=2021-10-18 |quote=}}

Axis and Nozomi collaborated throughout the research and disclosure process, with Nozomi publishing a statement from Axis in its announcement of the vulnerability.

To exploit these vulnerabilities, the potential adversary needs network access and administrator-level access to the Axis device.{{Cite web|date=2021-10-01|title=CVE-2021-31998 Security Advisory|url=https://www.axis.com/files/tech_notes/CVE-2021-31988.pdf|access-date=2021-10-18|website=axis.com}} A week after their discoveries, CVE-2021-31986, CVE-2021-31987, and CVE-31998 were patched in AXIS OS 10.7, AXIS OS 2016 LTS Track 6.50.5.5, AXIS OS 2018 LTS Track 8.40.4.3, and AXIS OS 2020 LTS Track 9.80.3.5.
