Mark Stanislav - [email protected]

I. DESCRIPTION

Stem Innovation's IP camera called ‘IZON’ utilizes numerous hard-coded credentials within its Linux distribution and also the hidden web application running on the camera. These sets of credentials are never exposed to the end-user and cannot be changed through any normal operation of the camera. Further, using the web interface credentials will provide access to a camera stream and configuration details, including third-party API keys.

II. TESTED VERSION

iOS Mobile Application: 1.0.5
Camera Firmware: 2.0.2

III. PoC EXPLOIT

1) Telnet Credentials

• "root" with a password of "stemroot"
• "admin" with a password of "/ADMIN/"
• "mg3500" with a password of "merlin"

2) HTTP Credentials (http://camera-ip/mobileye/)

• "user" with a password of "user"

IV. SOLUTION

Update to the latest firmware and hope for the best.
