~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overview:

The software product C-MOR is an IP video surveillance system.

The manufacturer describes the product as follows:

"With C-MOR video surveillance, it is possible to check your
surveillance over network and the Internet. You can access the live
view as well as previous recordings from any PC or mobile device.
C-MOR is managed and controlled over the C-MOR web interface.
IP settings, camera recording setup, user rights and so on are set
over the web without the installation of any software on the
client."[1]

Due to improper user input validation, it is possible to download
arbitrary files from the C-MOR system via a path traversal attack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vulnerability Details:

By analyzing the C-MOR web interface, it was found that different
functionalities are vulnerable to path traversal attacks, which is
due to insufficient user input validation.

For instance, the download functionality for backups provided by the
script "download-bkf.pml" is vulnerable to a path traversal
attack via the parameter "bkf".

This enables an authenticated user to download arbitrary files as
Linux user "www-data" from the C-MOR system.

Another path traversal attack is in the script "show-movies.pml",
which can be exploited via the parameter "cam".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Proof of Concept (PoC):

Using the following HTTP POST request with the relative path
"../../../../etc/passwd" as value for the parameter "bkf", it is
possible to download the file "/etc/passwd":

POST /download-bkf.pml HTTP/1.1
Host: <HOST>
Authorization: Basic <CREDENTIALS>
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 26

bkf=../../../../etc/passwd


An example of a successful path traversal attack is demonstrated via
the following curl command:
