CVE-2026-121606: Qihoo 360 Smart Camera firmware signature verification bypass

CVE-2026-121606 · Severity: critical · CVSS 10 · Published 2026-11-04

Qihoo 360's smart camera firmware contains a cryptographic signature verification flaw that allows attackers to flash unsigned firmware. An attacker with network access to the camera's update channel can bypass the security check by providing an empty signature, gaining persistent root-level code execution. This is a critical vulnerability affecting multiple camera models.

Technologies: Qihoo 360 360 Smart Camera. Vendors: Qihoo 360.

Technical details

The verify_sign() function in fs2/bin/iscm incorrectly returns 0 ("signature valid") when the signature argument is an empty string, bypassing RSA-2048 and base64 verification entirely. An attacker supplying a JSON firmware update command with an empty "sign" field passes validation and allows unsigned firmware to be downloaded and burned to the MTD partition via burn_helper. iscm runs as root, enabling persistent RCE across reboots; exploitation requires network access to the cloud/app push channel or a MITM position.
