# D-Link DCS-6501LH camera: mydlink root password setter uses weak credentials

The D-Link DCS-6501LH camera firmware 3.03.02 sets its root password through a mydlink function in /mnt/mtd/aoni_ipc using weak credentials. A remote attacker with a high-complexity path could gain access to the camera as root, and a public exploit has been disclosed.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the firmware version on the camera's web interface or system info page; the affected version is `3.03.02`.
- Confirm whether mydlink cloud features are enabled on the camera.
- unknown for a file-level check on the device.

## Fix

- unknown: the sources do not name a fixed firmware version.
- Until a vendor fix is confirmed, disable mydlink remote access and keep the camera off the internet.
- Change the root and admin passwords to unique strong values.
