CVE-2026-81630 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.1 · Published 2026-09-24

The Botslab G980H dash camera downloads firmware updates over an unencrypted connection without verifying digital signatures, relying instead on a weaker integrity check. An attacker positioned to intercept network traffic or an authenticated user could inject malicious firmware to take complete control of the device, accessing video feeds and enabling persistent compromise of the vehicle's data collection system.

**How is CVE-2026-81630 attacked?** It is attacked over the network, in device firmware.

**Am I affected by CVE-2026-81630?** Check whether you run Botslab G980H at an affected version. 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 firmware update mechanism fails to validate cryptographic signatures on downloaded firmware images, instead using only a supplied integrity value (likely CRC or similar weak hash). An attacker on the network path or with authentication credentials can exploit this to install arbitrary firmware. The vulnerability requires either network-level access (man-in-the-middle) or prior authentication; successful exploitation grants full code execution on the device.
