Shinobi before commit 5a76c74f contains a hardcoded connection key in the child node service that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary database queries. Attackers reaching the child node port can present the hardcoded key during WebSocket handshake, then dispatch SQL queries through the onWebSocketDataFromChildNode handler to read and modify user records and camera configuration.

An issue was discovered in Shinobi through ocean version 1. lib/auth.js has Incorrect Access Control. Valid API Keys are held in an internal JS Object. Therefore an attacker can use JS Proto Method names (such as constructor or hasOwnProperty) to convince the System that the supplied API Key exists in the underlying JS object, and consequently achieve complete access to User/Admin/Super API functions, as demonstrated by a /super/constructor/accounts/list URI.
