## CVE ID
**CVE-2025-50777** (currently **RESERVED**)
---
## Affected Product
- **Vendor:** AZIOT
- **Product:** 2MP Full HD Smart Wi-Fi CCTV Home Security Camera
- **Firmware Version:** V1.00.02
- **Storage:** 128GB, 1 Channel
---
## Vulnerability Details
During firmware analysis and UART access testing, the following issues were identified:
- The device allows bypassing boot-level authentication via **UART console** using insecure bootloader and init script misconfigurations.
- Once root access is gained, the file system reveals **sensitive credentials in plaintext**, including:
- **Wi-Fi SSID and password**
- **ONVIF service authentication credentials**
No encryption, access control, or secure storage mechanisms protect these credentials in the current firmware.

## Impact
| Type | Description |
|------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
| **Access Vector** | Local (via UART interface or firmware extraction) |
| **Privilege Escalation** | Yes – Root shell access is obtained |
| **Information Disclosure** | Yes – Plaintext credentials exposed |
| **Risk Level** | High – Enables full device compromise and lateral movement in network |
---
## Recommendations
Until a vendor patch is made available, users are advised to:
- Monitor for unusual **ONVIF** or **RTSP** activity
- Disable ONVIF if not used
- Encrypt all sensitive data in storage and transit
