ZoneMinder is a free, open source closed-circuit television software application. Prior to 1.39.2, 1.38.2, and 1.36.40, ZoneMinder interpolates an unvalidated monitor Device field into shell commands in PHP and Perl control paths when an authenticated user with monitor-create or monitor-edit permission saves a Local monitor whose Device Path contains shell metacharacters and the monitor control or startup path runs. In this attack mechanism, the stored Device value reaches Perl qx() and backtick execution before zmdc.pl argument detainting, while separate PHP command paths use bypassable escapeshellcmd defenses. The attacker can execute arbitrary commands as the web server user. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.39.2, 1.38.2, and 1.36.40.

ZoneMinder is a free, open source closed-circuit television software application. Prior to 1.38.3, downloadEvents() manually wraps a monitor Name value in single quotes instead of using escapeshellarg() before placing it in shell commands when a user with monitor-create or monitor-edit permission stores a monitor Name containing shell metacharacters and a user with Events View permission exports that monitor's events. In this attack mechanism, the stored monitor Name reaches both the ffmpeg concatenation command and the tar or zip archive command and breaks out of manual quoting. Arbitrary commands execute as the web server user. This issue is fixed in version 1.38.3.

ZoneMinder is a free, open source closed-circuit television software application. Prior to 1.38.3, the exportEvents() function concatenates the attacker-controlled exportFile request parameter into a shell command without neutralizing shell metacharacters when an authenticated user with View Events or View Snapshots permission submits an event export request with a crafted exportFile value, a valid CSRF token, and exportDetail enabled. The affected components are exportEvents(), exportFile, web/ajax/event.php, web/skins/classic/includes/exportfunctions.php. In this attack mechanism, the crafted exportFile value reaches the trailing directory argument of a tar or zip command executed by exec(). The attacker can execute arbitrary operating system commands as the web server user. This issue is fixed in version 1.38.3.

ZoneMinder is a free, open source closed-circuit television software application. In versions 1.34.0 through 1.36.38, the web interface mishandles failed token authentication in web/includes/auth.php. validateToken() returns false when a token is malformed or has an invalid signature, but the caller assigns that value to the global $user variable; because web/index.php tests isset($user), boolean false is treated as a present user and the normal login redirect is skipped. This can dispatch views that rely on the outer authentication gate, including the zones view, which accepts an attacker-selected monitor ID and discloses monitor and zone metadata without an independent permission check. Permission helpers receive the false user value and deny privileged operations, so unauthorized state changes have not been established. This vulnerability is fixed in version 1.36.63, where conversion to ZM\User objects causes invalid token state to fail before view dispatch. Later defense-in-depth changes explicitly leave $user unset after failed token validation and reject non-ZM\User values at the web authentication gate.

ZoneMinder before 1.38.4 contains static buffer overflow vulnerabilities in RemoteCameraHttp::GetResponse() that allow malicious HTTP cameras or intercepting attackers to overflow fixed-size buffers by sending oversized response headers. Attackers can send crafted HTTP responses with oversized status messages, Connection headers, Content-Type values, or multipart boundaries to corrupt parser state and crash the capture process or corrupt memory.

ZoneMinder before 1.38.4 fails to apply per-monitor access restrictions in the FramesController index endpoint. Authenticated users with Events view permission can call the frames API to list frame records from monitors they are denied access to, disclosing event and frame metadata across monitor boundaries.

ZoneMinder versions 1.37.0 before 1.38.0 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the files view that allows authenticated users to read arbitrary files. The path parameter is not properly validated before being passed to outputfile, enabling attackers with Events view permission to access sensitive files like configuration files containing database credentials.

ZoneMinder is a free, open source closed-circuit television software application. Versions prior to 1.36.39, 1.38.4, and 1.39.11 allow an authenticated low-privileged user with coarse Events=View and/or Snapshots=View permissions to directly fetch media for events belonging to monitors they are not allowed to access. The normal UI correctly hides the restricted monitor and its events, but direct event media views accept an arbitrary eid and stream media from the event path without enforcing the event/monitor-level ACL. This exposes private surveillance footage across monitor boundaries. Versions 1.36.39, 1.38.4, and 1.39.11 fix the issue.

A remote code execution vulnerability in ZoneMinder 1.39.17 allows any authenticated user to execute OS commands by exploiting a broken permission check in the Filter class. The canEdit() and canDelete() methods invoke nonexistent methods on the ZM\User class, causing PHP call() to return a truthy value that bypasses the permission check for all users. Any authenticated user can trigger filter-based OS command execution regardless of their assigned role.

An authenticated OS command injection vulnerability exists in ZoneMinder's event export functionality. The exportFile HTTP request parameter is passed unsanitized into a shell command executed via PHP's exec(), allowing any authenticated user with View Events permission to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the server.

RCE (Remote Code Execution) exists in ZoneMinder through 1.36.33 as an attacker can create a new .php log file in language folder, while executing a crafted payload and escalate privileges allowing execution of any commands on the remote system.

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) was discovered in ZoneMinder before 1.30.2. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data (postLoginQuery) passed to the "ZoneMinder-master/web/skins/classic/views/js/postlogin.js.php" URL. An attacker could execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a browser in the context of the vulnerable website.

A file disclosure and inclusion vulnerability exists in web/views/file.php in ZoneMinder 1.x through v1.30.0 because of unfiltered user-input being passed to readfile(), which allows an authenticated attacker to read local system files (e.g., /etc/passwd) in the context of the web server user (www-data). The attack vector is a .. (dot dot) in the path parameter within a zm/index.php?view=file&path= request.

ZoneMinder v1.30 and v1.29, an open-source CCTV server web application, is vulnerable to CSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery) which allows a remote attack to make changes to the web application as the current logged in victim. If the victim visits a malicious web page, the attacker can silently and automatically create a new admin user within the web application for remote persistence and further attacks. The URL is /zm/index.php and sample parameters could include action=user uid=0 newUser[Username]=attacker1 newUser[Password]=Password1234 confpassword=Password1234 newUser[System]=Edit (among others).

Multiple reflected XSS vulnerabilities exist within form and link input parameters of ZoneMinder v1.30 and v1.29, an open-source CCTV server web application, which allows a remote attacker to execute malicious scripts within an authenticated client's browser. The URL is /zm/index.php and sample parameters could include action=login&view=postlogin[XSS] view=console[XSS] view=groups[XSS] view=events&filter[terms][1][cnj]=and[XSS] view=events&filter%5Bterms%5D%5B1%5D%5Bcnj%5D=and[XSS] view=events&filter%5Bterms%5D%5B1%5D%5Bcnj%5D=[XSS]and view=events&limit=1%22%3E%3C/a%3E[XSS] (among others).

Session fixation vulnerability in Zoneminder 1.30 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions via the ZMSESSID cookie.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Zoneminder 1.30 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the path info to index.php.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Zoneminder 1.30 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for requests that change passwords and possibly have unspecified other impact as demonstrated by a crafted user action request to index.php.

SQL injection vulnerability in Zoneminder 1.30 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the limit parameter in a log query request to index.php.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Zoneminder 1.30 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the name when creating a new monitor.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Zoneminder 1.30 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the format parameter in a download log request to index.php.

Information disclosure and authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the Apache HTTP Server configuration bundled with ZoneMinder v1.30 and v1.29, which allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to browse all directories in the web root, e.g., a remote unauthenticated attacker can view all CCTV images on the server via the /events URI.

ZoneMinder v1.36.34 is vulnerable to Command Injection in web/views/image.php. The application passes unsanitized user input directly to the exec() function. NOTE: this is disputed by the Supplier because there is no unsanitized user input to web/views/image.php.

ZoneMinder is a free, open source closed-circuit television software application. In versions 1.36.37 and below and 1.37.61 through 1.38.0, there is a second-order SQL Injection vulnerability in the web/ajax/status.php file within the getNearEvents() function. Event field values (specifically Name and Cause) are stored safely via parameterized queries but are later retrieved and concatenated directly into SQL WHERE clauses without escaping. An authenticated user with Events edit and view permissions can exploit this to execute arbitrary SQL queries.

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ZoneMinder before version 1.34.21, allows remote attackers execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, and obtain sensitive information via PHPSELF component in classic/views/download.php.

Session fixation exists in ZoneMinder through 1.36.12 as an attacker can poison a session cookie to the next logged-in user.

A Stored Cross Site Scripting (XSS) issue in ZoneMinder 1.36.12 allows an attacker to execute HTML or JavaScript code via the Username field when an Admin (or non-Admin users that can see other users logged into the platform) clicks on Logout. NOTE: this exists in later versions than CVE-2019-7348 and requires a different attack method.

ZoneMinder is a free, open source Closed-circuit television software application The file parameter is vulnerable to a cross site scripting vulnerability (XSS) by backing out of the current "tr" "td" brackets. This then allows a malicious user to provide code that will execute when a user views the specific log on the "view=log" page. This vulnerability allows an attacker to store code within the logs that will be executed when loaded by a legitimate user. These actions will be performed with the permission of the victim. This could lead to data loss and/or further exploitation including account takeover. This issue has been addressed in versions 1.36.27 and 1.37.24. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should disable database logging.

ZoneMinder is a free, open source Closed-circuit television software application. In affected versions the ZoneMinder API Exposes Database Log contents to user without privileges, allows insertion, modification, deletion of logs without System Privileges. Users are advised yo upgrade as soon as possible. Users unable to upgrade should disable database logging.

ZoneMinder is a free, open source Closed-circuit television software application. In affected versions authenticated users can bypass CSRF keys by modifying the request supplied to the Zoneminder web application. These modifications include replacing HTTP POST with an HTTP GET and removing the CSRF key from the request. An attacker can take advantage of this by using an HTTP GET request to perform actions with no CSRF protection. This could allow an attacker to cause an authenticated user to perform unexpected actions on the web application. Users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible. There are no known workarounds for this issue.
