Network-accessible web application exploitable by any authenticated account via a trivially bypassed permission check leading to full OS command injection; PR:L reflects the sole barrier being a valid credential.

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. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
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. …
