CVE-2026-85496 is a high-severity generation of predictable numbers or identifiers vulnerability in G980H from Botslab, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 out of 10. It can be exploited from the same local network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected G980H versions: 30010_QHG980HN5294SysFW+; 58_QHG980HMCN5291SysFW+. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Official description

The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware generates session identifiers using a small sequential value space rather than a suitably unpredictable source. An unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access and knowledge that an active session exists could potentially determine a valid session identifier and use it to bypass intended authorization controls.

Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.

The underlying weakness: Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers

The product uses a scheme that generates numbers or identifiers that are more predictable than required.
