CVE-2025-56438

An issue in the firmware update mechanism of Nous W3 Smart WiFi Camera v1.33.50.82 allows unauthenticated and physically proximate attackers to escalate privileges to root via supplying a crafted update.tar archive file stored on a FAT32-formatted SD card.

Weakness

The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data.
