CVE-2026-82566 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.8 · Published 2026-09-24

The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware contains a flaw in how it manages user sessions. When a client connection is closed or replaced, the camera does not properly invalidate the existing authentication state, allowing it to remain active. An attacker with access to the local network could exploit this to access video and settings associated with another user's session without requiring authentication.

## Technical details

The vulnerability is a session management flaw where authentication state persists after client disconnection or displacement. Under specific network conditions, a new connection can replace an existing client while the previous session remains valid until a separate expiration timer fires. An unauthenticated adjacent network attacker can leverage this residual authentication to access privileged functionality intended for the original client.
