DescriptionGitHub Advisory

ZoneMinder is a free, open source closed-circuit television software application. In versions 1.36.37 and below and 1.37.61 through 1.38.0, there is a second-order SQL Injection vulnerability in the web/ajax/status.php file within the getNearEvents() function. Event field values (specifically Name and Cause) are stored safely via parameterized queries but are later retrieved and concatenated directly into SQL WHERE clauses without escaping. An authenticated user with Events edit and view permissions can exploit this to execute arbitrary SQL queries.

AnalysisAI

SQL injection in ZoneMinder's status.php getNearEvents() function allows authenticated users with event management permissions to execute arbitrary database queries through improperly sanitized Event Name and Cause fields in versions 1.36.37 and below or 1.37.61 through 1.38.0. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability, and no patch is currently available. …
