CVE-2024-51482
Overview
This vulnerability is a boolean-based SQL Injection affecting ZoneMinder's web application component. The root cause lies in improper sanitization of user-supplied input in the AJAX handler located at web/ajax/event.php, which allows crafted queries to manipulate the underlying SQL statements. The affected feature is the event handling functionality within ZoneMinder versions up to and including 1.37.64.
Vulnerability Description
ZoneMinder is a free, open source closed-circuit television software application. ZoneMinder v1.37.* <= 1.37.64 is vulnerable to boolean-based SQL Injection in function of web/ajax/event.php. This is fixed in 1.37.65.
Impact
An attacker with authenticated access can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL commands with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as indicated by the CVSS vector (C:H/I:H/A:H). This can lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data manipulation, or denial of service within the ZoneMinder application. The attack requires network access and authenticated user privileges but no user interaction, enabling potential lateral movement or compromise of surveillance data.
Solution
Upgrade ZoneMinder to version 1.37.65 or later, where this SQL Injection vulnerability is resolved. Refer to the official GitHub security advisory GHSA-qm8h-3xvf-m7j3 and the patch commit 9e7d31841ed9678a7dd06869037686fc9925e59f for detailed remediation instructions. No additional workarounds are documented; applying the vendor-provided patch is the recommended mitigation.
