Wi-Fi passphrase disclosure via cleartext UART boot output
Published Aug 15, 2024 · Updated Aug 16, 2024
Information disclosure in the GNCC GC2 Indoor Security Camera 1080P allows physically proximate attackers to read the Wi-Fi passphrase. During device boot, the exposed UART debugging port transmits the configured Wi-Fi credentials in cleartext without authentication. Physical access to the powered-off camera and a UART connection are required; disclosure is limited to the wireless-network credentials.
