Official description
JAIOTlink C492A-W6 Wi-Fi IP cameras running firmware 4.8.30.57701411 contain a hard-coded credentials vulnerability that allows network-adjacent attackers to gain unauthorized access by using the default admin username with an empty password accepted by the anyka_ipc HTTP service on port 80. Attackers can authenticate with these hardcoded credentials to access camera snapshots, video streams, network configuration, and factory-level API endpoints including the SetMAC command injection surface.

The underlying weakness: Use of Default Credentials
The product uses default credentials (such as passwords or cryptographic keys) for potentially critical functionality.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Prohibit use of default, hard-coded, or other values that do not vary for each installation of the product - especially for separate organizations.
- Force the administrator to change the credential upon installation.
- The product administrator could change the defaults upon installation or during operation.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: poc, automatable: yes, technical impact: total).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
