CVE-2026-75558 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-09-24

The Botslab G980H dash camera uses a hard-coded encryption key in its firmware to protect WiFi credentials. An attacker with access to the firmware can extract this key and decrypt the WiFi password, gaining unauthorized access to the camera and network. This could enable further attacks on connected devices or surveillance of camera footage.

**How is CVE-2026-75558 attacked?** It is attacked with physical access or with local access, in a network appliance.

**Am I affected by CVE-2026-75558?** Check whether you run Botslab G980H. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

## Technical details

The vulnerability stems from use of a static cryptographic key and initialization vector embedded in the firmware to encrypt WiFi credentials. An attacker who obtains a copy of the firmware (via physical extraction or other means) can extract the hard-coded key material and decrypt the stored or transmitted credentials. No authentication or specialized hardware is required once the firmware is acquired.
