CVE-2021-32934
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe affected ThroughTek P2P products (SDKs using versions before 3.1.5, any versions with nossl tag, device firmware not using AuthKey for IOTC conneciton, firmware using AVAPI module without enabling DTLS mechanism, and firmware using P2PTunnel or RDT module) do not sufficiently protect data transferred between the local device and ThroughTek servers. This can allow an attacker to access sensitive information, such as camera feeds.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThroughTek P2P SDK products before version 3.1.5, or configurations using nossl tags, missing AuthKey for IOTC connections, or AVAPI without DTLS, fail to encrypt data in transit between IoT camera devices and ThroughTek servers. This allows unauthenticated attackers on the network path to intercept sensitive streams including camera feeds.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify ThroughTek Kalay P2P SDK installationLocate the ThroughTek Kalay P2P SDK library files in your IoT camera device firmware or software installation. Check for files named libIOTC.so, libAVAPI.so, or similar ThroughTek SDK components.Affected if The SDK library version is 3.1.5 or earlier when queried
-
Check for nossl configuration tagInspect the SDK configuration files or initialization code for the presence of 'nossl' tags or flags that disable SSL/TLS encryption for P2P connections.Affected if nossl tag or no-ssl configuration option is present or enabled
-
Verify AuthKey configuration for IOTC connectionsReview the IOTC (IoT Over The Cloud) connection configuration to confirm whether an AuthKey is properly set and required for authentication.Affected if AuthKey is not configured, missing, or set to empty for IOTC connections
-
Confirm DTLS status for AVAPI moduleCheck the AVAPI module configuration to determine whether DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) encryption is enabled for audio/video streams.Affected if DTLS is disabled, not configured, or absent for AVAPI module communications
-
Verify encryption is enforced on P2P data transportInspect network traffic or SDK logs to confirm whether data between camera devices and ThroughTek servers is encrypted in transit.Affected if Network captures show unencrypted video/audio data flowing to ThroughTek servers or P2P traffic lacks TLS/DTLS encryption
Your environment is affected if the ThroughTek Kalay P2P SDK version is 3.1.5 or earlier, or if nossl tags are used, or if AuthKey is missing for IOTC connections, or if DTLS is disabled for AVAPI, resulting in unencrypted camera feed transmission.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpdate ThroughTek P2P SDK to version 3.1.5 or later, enable SSL/TLS encryption, enable DTLS for AVAPI modules, and implement AuthKey authentication for IOTC connections.
Kalay P2p SDK version 3.1.5 or later
- Identify all products, devices, or applications using the Kalay P2p Software Development Kit
- Determine the current version of the Kalay P2p SDK in use by reviewing project dependencies or firmware versions
- Upgrade the Kalay P2p SDK to version 3.1.5 or later from the official ThroughTek distribution channel
- If using firmware with AVAPI module, ensure DTLS mechanism is enabled in the configuration
- If using P2PTunnel or RDT module, apply the updated SDK and verify secure configuration
- Verify the upgrade was successful and confirm the new version is >= 3.1.5
- Test the updated system to ensure camera feeds and data are properly protected
