Vulnerabilities in Foscam IP Cameras Enable Root and Remote Control

A series of recently found vulnerabilities could have let cybercriminals remotely compromise and control Foscam IoT security cameras. Chaining three exploits, hackers would have had the ability to completely take remote control of the devices, by deleting critical files stored on the device, crashing and critical services, and even triggering a shell command injection vulnerability to elevate privileges. The three vulnerabilities were reported by Vdoo security researchers who also compiled a list of 55 vulnerable devices and their affected firmware build. The manufacturer advised everyone to check if their camera is running an outdated firmware version and updated it to the latest build.”]
