PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI Cameras OS Command Injection Vulnerability
PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI cameras contain an OS command injection vulnerability that allows a remote, authenticated attacker to escalate privileges to root via a crafted payload with the ntp_addr parameter of the /cgi-bin/param.cgi CGI script.
A remote attacker, with administrative privileges, can achieve full data confidentiality loss, arbitrary modification of data, complete denial of service or system unavailability. Federal agencies are required to remediate by 2024-11-25 under CISA BOD 22-01.
This is a OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI Cameras. PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI-xx before firmware 6.3.40 is vulnerable to an OS command injection issue. The camera does not sufficiently validate the ntp_addr configuration value which may lead to arbitrary command execution when ntp_client is started. When chained with CVE-2024-8956, a remote and unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands on affected devices. Exploitation requires remote network access, low attack complexity, an administrative account, and no user interaction required.
Probably yes if any of these apply:
