Faradayβs researchers Javier Aguinaga and Octavio Gianatiempo have investigated on IP cameras and two high severity vulnerabilities.
This research project began when Aguinaga's wife, a former Research leader at Faraday Security, informed him that their IP camera had stopped working. Although Javier was initially asked to fix it, being a security researcher, opted for a more unconventional approach to tackle the problem. He brought the camera to their office and discussed the issue with Gianatiempo, another security researcher at Faraday. The situation quickly escalated from some light reverse engineering to a full-fledged vulnerability research project, which ended with two high-severity bugs and an exploitation strategy worthy of the big screen.
They uncovered two LAN remote code execution vulnerabilities in EZVIZβs implementation of Hikvisionβs Search Active Devices Protocol (SADP) and SDK server:
The affected code is present in several EZVIZ products, which include but are not limited to:
| Product Model | Affected Versions |
|---|---|
| CS-C6N-B0-1G2WF | Versions below V5.3.0 build 230215 |
| CS-C6N-R101-1G2WF | Versions below V5.3.0 build 230215 |
| CS-CV310-A0-1B2WFR | Versions below V5.3.0 build 230221 |
| CS-CV310-A0-1C2WFR-C | Versions below V5.3.2 build 230221 |
| CS-C6N-A0-1C2WFR-MUL | Versions below V5.3.2 build 230218 |
| CS-CV310-A0-3C2WFRL-1080p | Versions below V5.2.7 build 230302 |
| CS-CV310-A0-1C2WFR Wifi IP66 2.8mm 1080p | Versions below V5.3.2 build 230214 |
| CS-CV248-A0-32WMFR | Versions below V5.2.3 build 230217 |
| EZVIZ LC1C | Versions below V5.3.4 build 230214 |
These vulnerabilities affect IP cameras and can be used to execute code remotely, so they drew inspiration from the movies and decided to recreate an attack often seen in heist films. The hacker in the group is responsible for hijacking the cameras and modifying the feed to avoid detection. Take, for example, this famous scene from Oceanβs Eleven:
Exploiting either of these vulnerabilities, Javier and Octavio served a victim an arbitrary video stream by tunneling their connection with the camera into an attacker-controlled server while leaving all other camera features operational. A deep detailed dive into the whole research process, can be found in these slides and code. It covers firmware analysis, vulnerability discovery, building a toolchain to compile a debugger for the target, developing an exploit capable of bypassing ASLR. Plus, all the details about the Hollywood-style post-exploitation, including tracing, in memory code patching and manipulating the execution of the binary that implements most of the camera features.
This research shows that memory corruption vulnerabilities still abound on embedded and IoT devices, even on products marketed for security applications like IP cameras. Memory corruption vulnerabilities can be detected by static analysis, and implementing secure development practices can reduce their occurrence. These approaches are standard in other industries, evidencing that security is not a priority for embedded and IoT device manufacturers, even when developing security-related products. By filling the gap between IoT hacking and the big screen, this research questions the integrity of video surveillance systems and hopes to raise awareness about the security risks posed by these kinds of devices.
Security has two difficult tasks: designing smart ways of getting new information, and keeping track of findings to improve remediation efforts. With Faraday, you may focus on discovering vulnerabilities while we help you with the rest. Just use it in your terminal and get your work organized on the run. Faraday was made to let you take advantage of the available tools in the community in a truly multiuser way.
Faraday aggregates and normalizes the data you load, allowing exploring it into different visualizations that are useful to managers and analysts alike.

The easiest way to get faraday up and running is using our docker-compose
# Docker-compose
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/infobyte/faraday/master/docker-compose.yaml
$ docker-compose upManage, classify and triage your results through Faradayβs dashboard, designed with and for pentesters.
Get an overview of your vulnerabilities and ease your work.
By right clicking on any vulnerability, you may filter, tag and classify your results with ease. You may also add comments to vulnerabilities and add evidence with just a few clicks
In the asset tab, information on each asset is presented, for a detailed follow-up on every device in your network. This insight might be especially useful if you hold critical data on certain assets, so the impact of vulnerabilities may be assessed through this information. If responsibilities over each asset are clear, this view helps to organize and follow the work of asset owners too.
Here, you can obtain information about the OS, services, ports and vulnerabilities associated with each of your assets, which will give you a better understanding of your scope and help you to gain an overview of what you are assessing.
Integrate scanners with Faraday Agents Dispatcher. This feature will allow you to orchestrate the most common used security tools and have averything available from your Faraday instance. Once your scan is finished, you will be able to see all the results in the main dashboard.
