CVE-2024-8956: PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI Cameras Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

Critical severity, CVSS 9.1. Actively exploited: in CISA KEV since 2024-11-04. EPSS: 58.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI-xx before firmware 6.3.40 is vulnerable to an insufficient authentication issue. The camera does not properly enforce authentication to /cgi-bin/param.cgi when requests are sent without an HTTP Authorization header. The result is a remote and unauthenticated attacker can leak sensitive data such as usernames, password hashes, and configurations details. Additionally, the attacker can update individual configuration values or overwrite the whole file.

• PTZOptics PT30X-SDI Firmware: before 6.3.40 (fixed in 6.3.40)
