CVE-2017-5368
HighSummary
ZoneMinder versions 1.30 and 1.29 are vulnerable to CSRF attacks, allowing a remote attacker to make changes to the web application as the currently logged-in user. The attacker can silently create a new admin user, enabling further attacks.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability poses a serious security risk as it allows unauthorized individuals to gain access to the admin account, potentially leading to full control over the system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update ZoneMinder to the latest version and implement additional security measures, such as CSRF tokens, to minimize the risk of such attacks.

Original NVD description (English source)
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 conf_password=Password1234 newUser[System]=Edit (among others).
