Missing authentication for critical function vulnerability for all PTZOptics cameras and the Firmware Upgrade Tool - Firmware Update modules. A missing authentication vulnerability in the firmware update mechanism of affected PTZOptics cameras allows an unauthenticated user to install modified firmware on the device without administrator credentials.

This vulnerability allows attackers to upload modified firmware to the device without admin credentials. This issue affects:

PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI cameras contain an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability that allows a remote, attacker to bypass authentication for the /cgi-bin/param.cgi CGI script. If combined with CVE-2024-8957, this can lead to remote code execution as root.

PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI cameras contain an OS command injection vulnerability that allows a remote, authenticated attacker to escalate privileges to root via a crafted payload with the ntpaddr parameter of the /cgi-bin/param.cgi CGI script.

PTZOptics and possibly other ValueHD-based pan-tilt-zoom cameras use hard-coded, default administrative credentials. The passwords can readily be cracked. Many cameras have SSH or telnet listening on all interfaces. The passwords cannot be changed by the user, nor can the SSH or telnet service be disabled by the user.

PTZOptics and possibly other ValueHD-based pan-tilt-zoom cameras use default, shared credentials for the administrative web interface.
