C-MOR Video Surveillance 5.2401 Cross Site Scripting

Advisory ID: SYSS-2024-020
Product: C-MOR Video Surveillance
Manufacturer: za-internet GmbH
Affected Version(s): 5.2401
Tested Version(s): 5.2401
Vulnerability Type: Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79)
Risk Level: Medium
Solution Status: Fixed
Manufacturer Notification: 2024-04-05
Solution Date: 2024-07-31
Public Disclosure: 2024-09-04
CVE Reference: CVE-2024-45176
Authors of Advisory: Chris Beiter, Frederik Beimgraben,
and Matthias Deeg

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 input validation, the C-MOR web interface is vulnerable  
to reflected cross-site scripting attacks.

Vulnerability Details:

By analyzing the C-MOR web interface, it was found that different
functions are prone to reflected cross-site scripting attacks due to
insufficient user input validation.

This kind of attack allows an attacker to send a manipulated link to
an authenticated victim in order to execute arbitrary JavaScript code
in the context of the victim’s web browser.

Reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities were found in the
following C-MOR scripts and exploited via different URL parameters,
for instance the parameter "ujava":

• index-de.plm
• list-timelapse.plm
• list-motion.plm
• setdelays.plm
• show-movies.plm
• show-movies-f.plm
• uploadcambackup.plm

Proof of Concept (PoC):

The following three sample attack vectors exemplarily demonstrate  
the found security issue.

1) index-de.plm

The following URL is an example of an attack vector exploiting a  
reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability via the URL parameter  
"ujava" of the web interface index page "index-de.plm":

https://<HOST>/index-de.pml?ujava="><script>alert("SySS XSS!")</script><z="

2) list-timelapse.plm

The following URL is an example of an attack vector exploiting a  
reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the page  
"list-timelapse.plm" via the URL parameter "days":

https://<HOST>/list-timelapse.pml?days=1100&cam=cam1"><script>alert("SySS   
XSS!")</script><z="

3) show-movies.plm

The following URL is an example of an attack vector exploiting a  
reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the page  
"show-movies.plm" via the URL parameter "days":

https://<HOST>/show-movies.pml?cam=cam1&days="><script>alert("SySS   
XSS!")</script><z="

Solution:

Install C-MOR Video Surveillance version 6.00PL1.
