CVE-2026-53986

CVE-2026-53986 - MEDIUM Severity Vulnerability

Girafit camera app (Android and iOS) version 1.9.1 and earlier, and Girafit camera devices, contain a hardcoded credentials vulnerability that allows attackers to obtain the shared TURN relay username by decompiling the app or intercepting unencrypted network traffic during live view registration. Attackers can extract the static TURN username and session token, which are identical across all installs and not tied to any user or device, potentially enabling tracking, impersonation, or further exploitation if combined with the TURN relay password.
