Risk: (4/5)
Release Date: 04.02.2019

Summary

The N100 compact color IP camera with support for a more efficient compression format is optimized for low-speed networks, thanks to which it transmits a real-time image over the network with minimal delays. The camera supports the switching of the broadcast modes, and in the event of a break in communication with the remote file storage, it can continue recording to the microSDHC memory card. N100 is easy to install and configure, has all the necessary arsenal for the organization of low-cost professional video surveillance systems.

Description

The camera suffers from two authenticated command injection vulnerabilities. The issues can be triggered when calling ServerName and TimeZone GET parameters via the servertest page. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary system commands and gain root remote code execution.
