description

ZoneMinder versions before 1.36.40, 1.38.2, and 1.39.2 improperly pass Local monitor Device values into operating-system command paths. An authenticated user permitted to create or edit monitors can cause commands to run as the web-server user when the affected monitor control or startup path executes.

mitigation

Upgrade ZoneMinder to 1.36.40, 1.38.2, or 1.39.2, as appropriate for your release branch. Restrict monitor creation and editing permissions until the upgrade is complete.

fixed in 1.39.2, 1.38.2, 1.36.40
