DescriptionCVE.org

A remote code execution vulnerability in ZoneMinder 1.39.17 allows any authenticated user to execute OS commands by exploiting a broken permission check in the Filter class. The canEdit() and canDelete() methods invoke nonexistent methods on the ZM\User class, causing PHP __call() to return a truthy value that bypasses the permission check for all users. Any authenticated user can trigger filter-based OS command execution regardless of their assigned role.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in ZoneMinder 1.39.17 and earlier allows any authenticated user - regardless of assigned role - to execute arbitrary OS commands by exploiting a broken permission check in the Filter class. The flaw arises because canEdit() and canDelete() invoke nonexistent methods on the ZM\User class, causing PHP's __call() magic method to silently return a truthy value and bypass all role-based authorization for filter operations. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain any valid ZoneMinder credential
Delivery
Authenticate to web interface
Exploit
Access Filter management feature
Execution
Craft filter embedding OS command payload
Persist
canEdit() check bypassed via PHP __call() truthy return
Impact
Arbitrary OS commands execute as web server user

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must possess any valid authenticated account on the ZoneMinder instance; no elevated role or administrative privilege is required - viewer accounts are sufficient because the permission check is broken for all authenticated users regardless of role assignment. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) accurately captures the attack profile: network-reachable, zero complexity, any authenticated user, no interaction required, and full system compromise potential. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with any valid ZoneMinder account - including a viewer-level credential obtained through phishing, credential stuffing, or insider access - authenticates to the web interface and navigates to the Filter management section. By crafting a filter definition that embeds OS command payloads in a field that ZoneMinder passes to a system call, the attacker bypasses the non-functional `canEdit()` permission check due to the PHP `__call()` truthy return and achieves arbitrary command execution as the web server process user. …
Remediation No vendor-released patched version has been independently confirmed at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all ZoneMinder 1.39.17 or earlier instances in production and development environments; restrict network access to administrative and trusted users only; enable all available logging for filter operations and immediately review recent logs for suspicious activity. …
