A series of critical vulnerabilities in Thinkware’s F800 Pro dashcam has revealed systemic security flaws, including the exposure of user credentials in plain text, default authentication bypasses, and insecure data storage practices. Microsoft’s January 2025 Patch Tuesday updates, which addressed critical Windows OLE flaws like CVE-2025-21298, demonstrate the contrasting responsiveness between enterprise software and IoT vendors—a disparity that leaves consumers disproportionately vulnerable. Cloud Account Compromise (CVE-2024–53614): A hardcoded AES-256 decryption key in the Thinkware Cloud APK (v4.3.46) allows man-in-the-middle attackers to decrypt login traffic, exposing cloud credentials and granting access to stored footage.

The cybersecurity community continues to reverse-engineer Thinkware’s firmware to identify additional attack surfaces, with findings expected at the Black Hat Asia 2025 conference. Researchers confirmed that the credentials remain accessible even after device reboots, posing a persistent risk to users who park vehicles in public or semi-secure locations.
