CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

CareCam CM2507 IP cameras are vulnerable due to the use of a weak, fixed legacy password hash for storing the root-account password, allowing attackers to easily crack the password if they gain access to the firmware image or password database. This vulnerability poses a critical risk, as compromised credentials could potentially be reused across other devices with the same firmware. Organizations using these cameras should prioritize immediate remediation to prevent unauthorized access and potential exploitation.

Original NVD Description

CareCam CM2507 IP cameras store the device's root-account password using a fixed legacy password hash that provides insufficient resistance to offline cracking. An attacker who obtains the firmware image or password database could recover the associated credential, which may also be reusable across other devices running the same firmware.
