CVE-2026-81630: CWE-345 Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity in Botslab G980H
The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware does not adequately verify the authenticity of firmware updates. The update process retrieves firmware through an unprotected connection and relies on an integrity value supplied with the firmware instead of a trusted cryptographic signature. A suitably positioned attacker who intercepts a firmware download, or an authenticated attacker who submits a crafted update, could install modified firmware and execute unauthorized code on the device.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-81630 describes a vulnerability in the Botslab G980H dash camera firmware update mechanism. The firmware update process does not use cryptographic signatures to verify authenticity, instead relying on an integrity value supplied alongside the firmware. Updates are retrieved via an unprotected connection, enabling attackers positioned to intercept the download or authenticated attackers to install malicious firmware. This leads to unauthorized code execution on the device. The CVSS 4.0 score is 9.2, indicating a critical severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker capable of intercepting the firmware download or submitting a crafted update can install modified firmware on the Botslab G980H device. This results in unauthorized code execution, potentially compromising device functionality, data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official fix information is provided in the available data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, avoid exposing the device to untrusted networks where firmware downloads can be intercepted. Monitor vendor communications for updates.
