Camera-feed disclosure via unprotected IOTC traffic
Published May 19, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025
Cleartext transmission in ThroughTek Kalay SDK 3.1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to read camera audio and video feeds. The IOTC transport path fails to encrypt traffic exchanged between embedded devices and ThroughTek servers. Exposure requires the nossl tag, missing IOTC AuthKey, AVAPI without DTLS, P2PTunnel or RDT, or an affected SDK version.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=All <=3.1.5
- Affected versionversion=all with nossl tag
- Affected versionversion=firmware using AVAPI module without enabling DTLS mechanism
- Affected versionversion=firmware using P2PTunnel or RDT module
