Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel in Pelco, Inc. Sarix Pro 3 Series IP Cameras

The Pelco, Inc. Sarix Professional 3 Series Cameras are vulnerable to an authentication bypass issue in their web management interface. The flaw stems from inadequate enforcement of access controls, allowing certain functionality to be accessed without proper authentication. This weakness can lead to unauthorized viewing of live video streams, creating privacy concerns and operational risks for organizations relying on these cameras. Additionally, it may expose operators to regulatory and compliance challenges.

The RTSPLive555.dll ActiveX control in Pelco Digital Sentry Server 7.18.72.11464 has a SetCameraConnectionParameter stack-based buffer overflow. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary attacker-supplied code. The victim would have to visit a malicious webpage using Internet Explorer where the exploit could be triggered.

DSUtility.dll in Pelco Digital Sentry Server before 7.19.67 has an arbitrary file write vulnerability. The AppendToTextFile method doesn't check if it's being called from the application or from a malicious user. The vulnerability is triggered when a remote attacker crafts an HTML page (e.g., with "OBJECT classid=" and "<SCRIPT language='vbscript'>") to overwrite arbitrary files.

Pelco Digital Sentry Server 7.18.72.11464 has an XML External Entity vulnerability (exploitable via the DTD parameter entities technique), resulting in disclosure and retrieval of arbitrary data on the affected node via an out-of-band (OOB) attack. The vulnerability is triggered when input passed to the XML parser is not sanitized while parsing the ControlPointCacheShare.xml file (in a %APPDATA%\Pelco directory) when DSControlPoint.exe is executed.

A Uncontrolled Search Path Element (CWE-427) vulnerability exists in VideoXpert OpsCenter versions prior to 3.1 which could allow an attacker to cause the system to call an incorrect DLL.
