CVE-2025-2119 is a security vulnerability identified in the Thinkware Car Dashcam F800 Pro device, specifically affecting versions up to 20250226. The vulnerability arises from the use of default credentials within the Device Registration Handler component. This flaw allows an attacker with physical access to the device to potentially exploit these default credentials to gain unauthorized access. The attack complexity is rated as high, indicating that exploitation requires significant effort or expertise, and the vulnerability does not appear to be easily exploitable. No user interaction or authentication is required beyond physical access, but the attack vector is limited to physical proximity to the device. The vendor has been notified but has not responded or provided a patch, and no known exploits are currently observed in the wild. The CVSS 4.0 score is low (1.0), reflecting limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and the high attack complexity. The vulnerability primarily affects the confidentiality of the device's data, with minimal impact on integrity or availability. Since the dashcam is a physical device typically installed in vehicles, the attack surface is constrained to scenarios where an attacker can physically access the device, such as during vehicle servicing or theft. The lack of vendor response and patch availability increases the risk for users who cannot update or remediate the issue promptly.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability is generally low but context-dependent. Organizations that operate fleets of vehicles equipped with Thinkware Car Dashcam F800 Pro devices, such as logistics companies, transportation services, or law enforcement agencies, could face risks related to unauthorized access to dashcam recordings or device settings if an attacker gains physical access to the vehicle. This could lead to leakage of sensitive video footage, potentially compromising privacy or operational security. However, the requirement for physical access and the high complexity of exploitation limit the threat scope. The vulnerability does not enable remote compromise or widespread disruption, so its impact on broader IT infrastructure or network security is minimal. Nonetheless, for organizations relying on dashcam data for legal evidence or operational monitoring, unauthorized access could undermine data integrity and trustworthiness. The absence of a vendor patch means organizations must rely on compensating controls until a fix is available.

Given the physical access requirement and lack of vendor patch, European organizations should implement specific mitigations: 1) Physically secure vehicles and dashcam devices to prevent unauthorized access, including locking mechanisms and controlled access to fleet vehicles. 2) Conduct regular audits of dashcam devices to check for unauthorized tampering or access attempts. 3) Where possible, disable or change default credentials manually if the device interface allows, or restrict device registration functions. 4) Limit the exposure of sensitive dashcam footage by encrypting stored data or transferring it securely to centralized systems promptly, reducing the value of data on the device itself. 5) Train personnel on the importance of physical security for in-vehicle devices and establish protocols for reporting suspicious activity. 6) Monitor vendor communications for updates or patches and plan for device replacement if a fix is not forthcoming. 7) Consider network segmentation or isolation if dashcams connect to organizational networks to prevent lateral movement in case of compromise.
