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
A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Audi UTR Dashcam 2.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component Command API. The manipulation leads to improper access controls. The attack needs to be done within the local network. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.89 and 2.90 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early about these issues and acted very professional. Version 2.89 is fixing this issue for new customers and 2.90 is going to fix it for existing customers.

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.

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 Audi UTR Dashcam 2.0 device on your network
    Review your network inventory, device list, or physically inspect connected devices to locate Audi UTR Dashcam 2.0 units. Check the device label or admin interface for the exact model designation.
    Affected if The device model is Audi UTR Dashcam 2.0 and it is present on your network.
  2. Check installed firmware version
    Access the dashcam admin interface through its web portal or use the device command interface to retrieve the current firmware version. Compare against the affected version range.
    Affected if The installed firmware version is below 2.89 or 2.90 (depending on deployment type).
  3. Verify Command API accessibility
    Examine network configuration and firewall rules to determine if the dashcam Command API port is reachable from network segments other than trusted management networks.
    Affected if The Command API is exposed to network segments accessible by untrusted users or devices.
  4. Review network logs for Command API activity
    Check network traffic logs, intrusion detection alerts, or the dashcam audit logs for any unexpected or unauthorized API calls, especially from unfamiliar IP addresses on the local network.
    Affected if Unusual or unauthorized Command API calls are observed in logs or network traffic.

You are affected if you have an Audi UTR Dashcam 2.0 with firmware below version 2.89/2.90 and its Command API is accessible from your local network.
