**Description**
An issue was discovered in the custom UDP protocol used by the devices to start and control video and audio services. The protocol has been partially reverse engineered, revealing that no password or username is transferred over this protocol. As a result, it is possible to set up sessions with the device over the Internet using the encoded UID, since authentication happens at the client side.
