Description

The home automation solution suffers from an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands as the root user via the 'name' GET parameter in 'delsnap.pl' Perl/CGI script which is used for deleting snapshots taken from the webcam.

/www/delsnap.pl:
----------------

#!/usr/bin/perl
use IO::Handle;


select(STDERR);
$| = 1;
select(STDOUT);
$| = 1;

#print "\r\n\r\n";

$CGITempFile::TMPDIRECTORY = '/mnt/microsd/clipsal/ugen/imgs/';
use CGI;

my $PROGNAME = "delsnap.pl";

my $cgi = new CGI();

my $name = $cgi->param('name');
if ($name eq "list") {
    print "\r\n\r\n";
    print "DATA=";
    print `ls -C1 /mnt/microsd/clipsal/ugen/imgs/`;
    exit(0);
}
if ($name eq "deleteall") {
    print "\r\n\r\n";
    print "DELETINGALL=TRUE&";
    print `rm /mnt/microsd/clipsal/ugen/imgs/*`;
    print "COMPLETED=true\n";
    exit(0);
}
#print "name $name\n";
print "\r\n\r\n";
my $filename = "/mnt/microsd/clipsal/ugen/imgs/$name";

unlink $filename or die "COMPLETED=false\n";

print "COMPLETED=true\n";
