CVE-2025-30106
Remediation/Mitigation Strategy for CVE-2025-30106
Vulnerability: Hardcoded Default Credentials
Description: The IROAD v9 dashcam uses hardcoded default credentials (“qwertyuiop”) for Wi-Fi access. These credentials are unchangeable by the user. This allows unauthorized access to the dashcam’s network by anyone within Wi-Fi range.
Severity: High
- CVSS Score: 8.8 (Based on the provided data)
- Impact:
- Confidentiality: An attacker can sniff network traffic to potentially access sensitive information recorded by the dashcam, such as location data, audio recordings, and video footage.
- Integrity: An attacker could potentially modify dashcam settings, firmware, or recorded data.
- Availability: An attacker could potentially disrupt the normal operation of the dashcam by flooding the network or altering configuration.
Known Exploit:
An attacker simply needs to be within Wi-Fi range of the IROAD v9 dashcam and use the default password (“qwertyuiop”) to connect to its network.
Remediation/Mitigation Strategy:
The following steps should be taken to address this vulnerability:
Immediate Action (Vendor):
- Firmware Update: The highest priority is for the IROAD vendor to release a firmware update that:
- Removes the hardcoded password.
- Forces users to set a unique, strong password upon initial setup.
- Implements password complexity requirements (e.g., minimum length, character types).
- Offers a secure mechanism for password recovery.
- Security Advisory: The vendor should issue a security advisory detailing the vulnerability and the recommended steps for users to protect themselves.
- Communication: Actively communicate the availability and importance of the firmware update to all IROAD v9 users.
- Firmware Update: The highest priority is for the IROAD vendor to release a firmware update that:
Short-Term Mitigation (User/Administrator):
- Disable Wi-Fi (Recommended): If Wi-Fi connectivity is not essential for the dashcam’s operation, disable the Wi-Fi functionality entirely to prevent unauthorized access. This is the most effective short-term mitigation.
- Restrict Access: If Wi-Fi is needed, minimize the operational time for the dashcam’s Wi-Fi hotspot. Only activate it when actively accessing the device for viewing recordings or changing settings.
- Change SSID (Less Effective, but still helpful): While the password is the primary issue, changing the SSID to a non-descriptive name could make it slightly harder for attackers to find the vulnerable network.
Long-Term Prevention:
- Secure Development Practices: Implement secure coding practices during development to prevent the inclusion of hardcoded credentials in future products.
- Security Audits: Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities before product release.
- Vulnerability Disclosure Program: Establish a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage security researchers to report potential security flaws responsibly.
- Password Management: Enforce secure password management practices across all devices and services. Never use default passwords and always require users to create strong, unique passwords.
- Regular Security Updates: Implement a system for delivering and installing security updates automatically or providing clear instructions to users on how to update their devices manually.
Verification:
After applying the firmware update (when available), verify that:
- The default password is no longer valid.
- The user is prompted to create a new, strong password during the initial setup process.
- The new password is successfully used for Wi-Fi access.
Disclaimer: This remediation strategy is based on the limited information provided in the CVE data. The specific steps and their effectiveness may vary depending on the device’s configuration and the attacker’s capabilities.
