G2: Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2025-9983 is a high-severity missing authentication for critical functionality vulnerability in G2 from GALAYOU, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited from the same local network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected G2 versions: 11.100001.01.28. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.68% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 53% of scored CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

Official description

GALAYOU G2 cameras stream video output via RTSP streams. By default these streams are protected by randomly generated credentials. However these credentials are not required to access the stream. Changing these values does not change camera's behavior. The vendor did not respond in any way. Only version 11.100001.01.28 was tested, other versions might also be vulnerable.

The underlying weakness: Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality

The product does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks entirely. Then, these modified values would be submitted to the server.
  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid. For example, consider using libraries with authentication capabilities such as OpenSSL or the ESAPI Authenticator.
  • When storing data in the cloud (e.g., S3 buckets, Azure blobs, Google Cloud Storage, etc.), use the provider's controls to require strong authentication for users who should be allowed to access the data.
