Unauthenticated dashcam access via embedded FTP password
Published Mar 20, 2025 · Updated Mar 20, 2025
Hard-coded FTP credentials in Audi Universal Traffic Recorder App 2.0 allow local users to obtain unauthorized access to the dashcam. The companion APK embeds a fixed FTP password that can be recovered by searching the application package for the password string. Exploitation requires local access and high complexity; the credential enables unauthorized FTP access without established write, command-execution, or service-interruption impact.
