SEC Consult has found a backdoor in Sony IPELA Engine IP Cameras. This backdoor allows an attacker to run arbitrary code on the affected IP cameras. Sony has since released updated firmware for the affected models. An attacker can use cameras to take a foothold in a network and launch further attacks, disrupt camera functionality, send manipulated images/video, add cameras into a Mirai-like botnet or spy on you. This vulnerability affects 80 different Sony camera models. Sony was informed by SEC Consult about the vulnerability.”]
