Firmware disclosure via unencrypted flash storage
Published Jun 27, 2025 · Updated Sep 2, 2025
Cleartext storage in Flock Safety LPR firmware 2.2 and earlier allows physically proximate attackers to read device code from flash. The OpenQ 624 system-on-module stores flash and eMMC contents without encryption, so an EDL dump exposes readable firmware partitions and strings. Exploitation requires physical access to the camera, knowledge of device debugging, and a cable or board connection; cloud-stored evidence is outside this flaw's reported impact.
