Security Evaluation

1. Device Security

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Known hardware tampering Rare πŸ”— Proof No physical tamper-resistant mechanism reported.
Known vulnerabilities Very common πŸ”— Proof Multiple CVEs including unauthenticated DoS (CVE-2026-105673), auth bypass, and predictable PSK.
Prior attacks Rare πŸ”— Proof Vulnerabilities disclosed in Oct 2026, but no evidence of active exploitation in the wild.
Updatability Very common πŸ”— Proof irmware patch available (V2_1.3.3 Build 260914); fixed version released.
Category Score Score: 2 / 3

2. System Security

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Authentication with other systems Partial πŸ”— Proof ONVIF/RTSP support exists but Camera Account feature is vulnerable.
Communications Encrypted with obselete encryption πŸ”— Proof Pre-shared key for local media streaming generated with time-seeded PRNG, making it predictable.
Storage Encrypted with up-to-date encryption πŸ”— Proof Local storage on MicroSD; no specific vulnerability disclosed regarding storage encryption.
Category Score Score: 2 / 3

3. User Authentication

Criterion Value Proof Comment
Account management Basic πŸ”— Proof Camera Account feature exists but is bypassable via CVE-2026-105672.
Authentication Absent πŸ”— Proof Unauthenticated adjacent attacker can bypass session verification and invoke privileged actions.
Brute-force protection Absent πŸ”— Proof No brute-force protection mechanism reported for the RTSP/API services.
Event logging Partial logging πŸ”— Proof No specific logging capability mentioned in vendor advisory.
Passwords Default/Common/Easy to guess πŸ”— Proof Pre-shared key is predictable and recoverable by adjacent attacker.
Category Score Score: 3 / 3
