CVE-2026-102607

HighCVSS 8.8
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

ZoneMinder prior to 1.38.3 concatenates the attacker-controlled exportFile request parameter into a shell command without neutralizing shell metacharacters in exportEvents(). An authenticated user with View Events or View Snapshots permission can submit a crafted export request and execute arbitrary OS commands as the web server user.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with basic event-viewing permissions can execute arbitrary system commands, leading to server compromise and access to surveillance data.

Recommendation

Update ZoneMinder to version 1.38.3, and until then restrict access to the event export functionality to trusted users only.

Original NVD description (English source)

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/export_functions.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.
