Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition vulerability in Foscam R2C IP camera running System FW <= 1.13.1.6, and Application FW <= 2.91.2.66, allows an authenticated remote attacker with administrator permissions to execute arbitrary remote code via a malicious firmware patch. The impact of this vulnerability is that the remote attacker could gain full remote access to the IP camera and the underlying Linux system with root permissions. With root access to the camera's Linux OS, an attacker could effectively change the code that is running, add backdoor access, or invade the privacy of the user by accessing the live camera stream.

FOSCAM Camera FI9805E with firmware V4.02.R12.00018510.10012.143900.00000 contains a backdoor that opens Telnet port when special command is sent on port 9530.

FOSCAM FHD X1 1.14.2.4 devices allow attackers (with physical UART access) to login via the ipc.fos~ password.

An Access vulnerability exists in FOSCAM IP Camera FI8620 due to insufficient access restrictions in the /tmpfs/ and /log/ directories, which could let a malicious user obtain sensitive information.

An issue was discovered on Foscam Opticam i5 devices with System Firmware 1.5.2.11 and Application Firmware 2.21.1.128. The response to an ONVIF media GetStreamUri request contains the administrator username and password.

An issue was discovered on Foscam C2 devices with System Firmware 1.11.1.8 and Application Firmware 2.72.1.32, and Opticam i5 devices with System Firmware 1.5.2.11 and Application Firmware 2.21.1.128. The admin account has a blank password.

An issue was discovered on Foscam C2 devices with System Firmware 1.11.1.8 and Application Firmware 2.72.1.32, and Opticam i5 devices with System Firmware 1.5.2.11 and Application Firmware 2.21.1.128. They allow attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via shell metacharacters in the modelName, by leveraging /mnt/mtd/app/config/ProductConfig.xml write access.

An issue was discovered on Foscam C2 devices with System Firmware 1.11.1.8 and Application Firmware 2.72.1.32, and Opticam i5 devices with System Firmware 1.5.2.11 and Application Firmware 2.21.1.128. The FTP and RTSP services make it easier for attackers to conduct brute-force authentication attacks, because failed-authentication limits apply only to HTTP (not FTP or RTSP).
