Summary

A format string vulnerability in the Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera allows remote code execution via JSON request parsing in the sonia binary. The lack of input validation before using it as a format specifier enables unauthenticated network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code as root.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can gain root-level control over the camera, enabling surveillance, image manipulation, or using the device as a pivot point into the internal network.

Recommendation

Immediately update the camera firmware to the latest version from the vendor and restrict device access to trusted networks only.

Other vulnerabilities in Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera

CVE-2026-15683High
The vulnerability in the Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera is due to improper validation of the certificate presented by the device management server. This allows a network-adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary code in the root context without user interaction.

Original NVD description (English source)

Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera CDeviceOperator Format String Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Cameras. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of JSON requests in the sonia binary. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it as a format specifier. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-25884.
