Serious Vulnerabilities Found in Firmware Used by Many IP Camera Vendors
2021-07-29 08:31

IP cameras offered by a dozen vendors are exposed to remote attacks due to several serious vulnerabilities found in the firmware they all share, according to France-based cybersecurity firm RandoriSec.

RandoriSec researchers discovered many critical and high-severity vulnerabilities in IP camera firmware made by UDP Technology, a South Korea-based company that provides digital video solutions for the security and IP surveillance industries.

RandoriSec has been finding vulnerabilities in UDP Technology firmware since 2017.

While the vulnerabilities were identified during the analysis of IP cameras offered by Germany-based video management solutions provider Geutebrück, RandoriSec founder Davy Douhine told SecurityWeek they are confident that IP cameras from all the other vendors using the UDP Technology firmware are also affected.

Douhine said the authentication bypass vulnerability they've found can be used to hack impacted IP cameras directly from the internet.

RandoriSec is currently preparing several other Metasploit modules for the vulnerabilities it found, including a post-exploitation module that can be used to freeze the targeted camera or to inject arbitrary images, "Like in movies."
