An authenticated OS command injection vulnerability exists in ZoneMinder's event export functionality. (CVE-2026-76060)
Description
An authenticated OS command injection vulnerability exists in ZoneMinder's event export functionality. The vulnerability arises because the exportFile HTTP request parameter is passed unsanitized into a shell command executed via PHP's exec(), allowing any authenticated user with View Events permission to execute arbitrary OS commands on the server. This affects multiple specific versions of ZoneMinder. The CVSS score is 8.8, indicating a high severity impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
