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 · unedited
KERUI HD 3MP 1080P Tuya Camera 1.0.4 has a command injection vulnerability in the module that connects to the local network via a QR code. This vulnerability allows an attacker to create a custom, unauthenticated QR code and abuse one of the parameters, either SSID or PASSWORD, in the JSON data contained within the QR code. By that, the attacker can execute arbitrary code on the camera.

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 · moderate confidence

KERUI HD 3MP 1080P Tuya Camera firmware 1.0.4 contains a command injection vulnerability in the QR code network configuration module. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious QR code containing shell commands in either the SSID or PASSWORD JSON fields, which the camera processes without proper input sanitization, leading to arbitrary code execution on the device.

MitigationUsers should refrain from scanning untrusted QR codes with the camera until a vendor firmware patch is released. The vendor must implement proper input validation and sanitization on the SSID and PASSWORD parameters before passing them to any system call or shell execution function.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify device model
    Check the device label, packaging, or administrative interface for the exact model name (KERUI HD 3MP 1080P Tuya Camera)
    Affected if Device is not the KERUI HD 3MP 1080P Tuya Camera, then not affected by this specific CVE
  2. Check firmware version
    Access the camera admin panel or check via ONVIF/Tuya app to locate the firmware version information
    Affected if Firmware version is 1.0.4 exactly, indicating it matches the affected version
  3. Locate firmware version via web interface or API
    Navigate to the camera settings page (usually /config or /deviceinfo) or use the Tuya mobile app device details to view the installed firmware build
    Affected if Firmware version cannot be determined or differs from 1.0.4, still compare against the affected range
  4. Verify QR code network setup feature presence
    Check camera settings or mobile app for QR code or network setup by scanning options
    Affected if QR code network setup feature is present and accessible on the device
  5. Confirm QR code processing for SSID/PASSWORD
    Review camera network configuration options to confirm the device accepts QR codes containing JSON with SSID and PASSWORD fields for WiFi setup
    Affected if The device processes QR codes containing SSID/PASSWORD parameters for network configuration

The device is affected if it is a KERUI HD 3MP 1080P Tuya Camera running firmware 1.0.4 with the QR code network setup feature enabled and capable of processing QR codes with SSID/PASSWORD parameters.

Mitigation

Users should refrain from scanning untrusted QR codes with the camera until a vendor firmware patch is released. The vendor must implement proper input validation and sanitization on the SSID and PASSWORD parameters before passing them to any system call or shell execution function.
