CVE-2026-51977Public exploit

Privilege escalation via embedded RSA private key

Published Aug 17, 2026 · Updated Aug 18, 2026

Privilege escalation in Trueview T18061 Pan-Tilt Security Camera 1.0 allows physically proximate attackers to forge device authentication. The linked technical report instead analyzes T18161-AF firmware 4.9.60.0, whose anyka_ipc _sign function loads an embedded shared key from /usr/local/rsa_private_key.pem and signs cloud API authentication data. Physical access to firmware containing the key is required; extraction permits forged signatures that the cloud backend accepts as legitimate device requests.
