Elink Smart eSmartCam App Vulnerable to AES Encryption Defeat

CVE-2024-25731

What is CVE-2024-25731?

The Elink Smart eSmartCam application for Android, specifically version 2.1.5, contains a significant security flaw due to the presence of hardcoded AES encryption keys within its binary files. This vulnerability enables attackers to extract the keys, which can subsequently be used to decrypt sensitive data. As a result, an attacker with the ability to intercept network traffic, such as Wi-Fi packets, can gain access to encrypted information, potentially compromising user privacy and security. This vulnerability highlights the importance of secure key management practices in application development to prevent unauthorized access to confidential data.
