PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI Cameras Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
PTZOptics - PT30X-SDI/NDI Cameras · Listed in the CISA KEV since 2024-11-04. This indicates confirmed attacks in production environments.
Required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
CVE-2024-8956
CriticalCVSS 9.1KEVSummary
PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI-xx before firmware 6.3.40 has an insufficient authentication issue. The camera does not enforce authentication to /cgi-bin/param.cgi when requests lack an HTTP Authorization header. A remote unauthenticated attacker can leak sensitive data such as usernames, password hashes, and configuration details, and can also update configuration values or overwrite the whole file.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can obtain credentials and modify camera configuration, potentially leading to privacy breaches and compromise of the surveillance system.
Recommendation
Update the camera firmware to version 6.3.40 or later.

A vulnerability in the ash_authentication library (Elixir) allows an attacker who can plant a remember-me cookie in a victim's browser to replace the victim's authenticated session with one for the attacker's own account. The issue stems from a mismatch between the session keys used by the guard and the reader, causing remember-me sign-in to run on every request.
Original NVD description (English source)
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.
