CVE-2026-15680: CWE-134: Use of Externally-Controlled Format String in Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera
Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera CDeviceOperator Format String Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Cameras. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of JSON requests in the sonia binary. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it as a format specifier. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-25884.
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.
