CVE-2026-15680: CWE-134: Use of Externally-Controlled Format String in Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera
CVE-2026-15680 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera, specifically in version 2.800.020000000.3.R.20220331. It involves a format string flaw in the sonia binary's JSON request parsing, allowing network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code as root without authentication.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from improper validation of user-supplied strings used as format specifiers in the sonia binary of Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Cameras. An attacker can send crafted JSON requests to trigger a format string vulnerability (CWE-134), leading to remote code execution with root privileges. Exploitation does not require authentication and can be performed by an attacker with network adjacency. The CVSS 3.0 base score is 7.5, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on affected devices, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This can lead to full device takeover and potential further network compromise. No known exploits in the wild have been reported at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisories for updates. Until a fix is released, restricting network access to the device and isolating it from untrusted networks may reduce exposure.
