Summary
Girafit camera app versions through 1.9.4 and Girafit camera devices contain hardcoded credentials (CWE-798). A remote attacker can decompile the app or intercept unencrypted live view registration traffic to obtain the static TURN username and session token, which are identical across installs. This can enable tracking and impersonation. A public exploit is linked in the references.

Description from the CNA
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.
