CVE-2026-101054: Thinkware U3000 arbitrary file read in TCP service

CVE-2026-101054 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-09-28

The Thinkware U3000 dashcam's TCP control protocol lacks authentication, allowing any network-connected attacker to read arbitrary files from the device without credentials. An attacker can expose the device's WiFi configuration (including plaintext passwords), recorded video library, and other system files. This is a complete loss of confidentiality for sensitive data stored on the dashcam.

Technologies: Thinkware U3000. Vendors: Thinkware.

Technical details

The TCP Service's GET_FILE and LS commands (msg_id 1285 and 1282) lack authentication checks and path restrictions, permitting unauthenticated file enumeration and content disclosure over unencrypted sockets (ports 7878/8787). An attacker on the local network can invoke these commands after a simple handshake (START_SESSION, SET_CLNT_INFO, APP_CONNECT) to read arbitrary filesystem paths including /tmp/wpa_supplicant.conf containing plaintext WiFi credentials. No patch is documented as available.
