CVE-2024-8956
Description
PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI-xx before firmware 6.3.40 is vulnerable to an insufficient authentication issue. The camera does not properly enforce authentication to /cgi-bin/param.cgi when requests are sent without an HTTP Authorization header. The result is a remote and unauthenticated attacker can leak sensitive data such as usernames, password hashes, and configurations details. Additionally, the attacker can update individual configuration values or overwrite the whole file.
Summary dbcve.org
PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI-xx cameras before firmware 6.3.40 have an authentication bypass vulnerability in /cgi-bin/param.cgi. When HTTP requests are sent without an Authorization header, the endpoint does not enforce authentication, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to read sensitive data including usernames, password hashes, and configuration details, and to modify or overwrite configuration files entirely.
Mitigation
Upgrade camera firmware to version 6.3.40 or later. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement network segmentation or firewall rules to restrict unauthorized access to the camera's web interface.
