## What is CVE-2026-81630?

CVE-2026-81630 is a critical code injection vulnerability in Botslab G980H, published on 24 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The Botslab G980H dash camera firmware does not adequately verify the authenticity of firmware updates. The update process retrieves firmware through an unprotected connection and relies on an integrity value supplied with the firmware instead of a trusted cryptographic signature. A suitably positioned attacker who intercepts a firmware download, or an authenticated attacker who submits a crafted update, could install modified firmware and execute unauthorized code on the device.

Weakness: CWE-345 (Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-81630 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-81630 is a critical code injection vulnerability in Botslab G980H, published on 24 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-81630 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Botslab G980H. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
