CVE-2020-11915Public exploit

Root access via Telnet enablement and default password

Published Feb 8, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Insecure default configuration in SVAKOM Siime Eye 14.1.00000001.3.330.0.0.3.14 allows physically proximate attackers to gain root access. The unauthenticated set_params.cgi handler accepts telnetd=1, persists it, and reboots with Telnet enabled; the shared reecam4debug password then authenticates as root. Exploitation requires proximity to join the device's Wi-Fi access point, after which the camera, stored data, settings, and operating system are exposed with root privileges.
