Vulnerabilities
| CVE | Weakness | CVSS v3 | CVSS v4 | KEV | Description (from advisory) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2026-84399 | Incorrect Authorization | 8.8 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware contains an authorization vulnerability in its session based command functionality. The product does not sufficiently associate an authenticated session with the client connection that established it, and subsequent privileged operations rely on possession of a valid session identifier without adequately validating the requesting client's authenticated contex… |
| CVE-2026-82566 | Insufficient Session Expiration | 8.8 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware contains a session management vulnerability in which authentication state can remain valid after the associated client connection has been terminated or replaced. Under certain connection conditions, a newly established connection can displace an existing client while previously established session state remains active until a separate expiration mechanism in… |
| CVE-2026-85496 | Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers | 8.8 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware generates session identifiers using a small sequential value space rather than a suitably unpredictable source. An unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access and knowledge that an active session exists could potentially determine a valid session identifier and use it to bypass intended authorization controls. |
| CVE-2026-77967 | Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay | 8.1 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware accepts a reusable authentication value without adequately verifying its freshness or association with the requesting client. An unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access who captures a valid authentication value could replay it from another client to establish an authenticated session and access privileged device functionality. |
| CVE-2026-88761 | Use of Weak Credentials | 5.3 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware generates the default WiFi password using predictable device information, portions of which are advertised by the product. An unauthenticated attacker within WiFi range could potentially determine the remaining password characters through limited guessing and gain unauthorized access to the device network. |
| CVE-2026-88956 | Missing Authentication for Critical Function | 6.8 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware contains an authentication vulnerability in the root account exposed through the device's UART interface. The affected account does not require a password before granting access to a privileged system interface, and the interface also displays the device's WiFi password during startup. An unauthenticated attacker with physical access to the device could conne… |
| CVE-2026-82716 | Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File | 4.6 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware includes sensitive configuration information, including WiFi credentials, in diagnostic logs generated during the support process. These logs remain accessible on removable storage after the support operation has completed. An unauthenticated attacker with physical access to the storage media could retrieve the logs and obtain sensitive device information. |
| CVE-2026-84403 | Missing Authentication for Critical Function | 6.2 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware does not require authenticated pairing or client binding before permitting access to Bluetooth Low Energy communications and GATT characteristics. An unauthenticated attacker within Bluetooth range could intercept or directly retrieve sensitive device information, including device identifiers, firmware information, and protected WiFi credentials. |
| CVE-2026-75558 | Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key | 5.3 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware uses a hard-coded cryptographic key and initialization vector to protect WiFi credentials communicated by the device. An attacker who obtains the protected credential and extracts the cryptographic material from the firmware could recover the WiFi password and gain unauthorized access to the device network. |
| CVE-2026-81630 | Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity | 8.1 | – | No | 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 … |
| CVE-2026-87118 | Out-of-bounds Write | 5.7 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware contains an out of bounds write vulnerability in its command processing functionality. An authenticated attacker with adjacent network access could submit crafted command data that corrupts memory, potentially disrupting authentication state or causing the affected process to terminate and the device to restart, resulting in a temporary denial of service. |
| CVE-2026-82708 | Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') | 6.5 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware contains a path traversal vulnerability in its HTTP server. An attacker with access to the device's WiFi network could submit a crafted request to access files within the device's removable storage that were not intended to be directly accessible through the web server. Exposed files could include recordings, images, diagnostic logs, or firmware files. |
| CVE-2026-79959 | Use of Hard-coded Credentials | 6.8 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware contains a hard-coded root account password that cannot be changed by the user. An attacker who obtains the firmware or has physical access to the device could recover the credential and use it to obtain root access through the UART interface. |
| CVE-2026-82585 | Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information | 6.5 | – | No | The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware transmits sensitive information over unencrypted HTTP and RTSP connections. An attacker capable of intercepting communications on the device's WiFi network could obtain stored recordings, live video, location information, images, diagnostic logs, or other sensitive information exchanged between the device and its mobile application. |
