What to do
AI-suggested
To mitigate CVE-2024-45173, organizations should immediately restrict access to the C-MOR web interface to trusted networks and authenticated users only, minimizing exposure to potential attackers. Network segmentation and firewall rules should be employed to limit access to the surveillance system. Monitoring and alerting on changes to sudoers files and unusual use of cp, chown, and chmod commands by www-data can help detect exploitation attempts. Employing host-based intrusion detection systems (HIDS) and integrity monitoring tools can provide early warnings of privilege escalation activities. Organizations should also consider deploying application-layer firewalls or web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block malicious commands sent via the web interface. Finally, maintain regular backups of configuration and system files to enable recovery in case of compromise.
Description
An issue was discovered in za-internet C-MOR Video Surveillance 5.2401. Due to improper privilege management concerning sudo privileges, C-MOR is vulnerable to a privilege escalation attack. The Linux user www-data running the C-MOR web interface can execute some OS commands as root via Sudo without having to enter the root password. These commands, for example, include cp, chown, and chmod, which enable an attacker to modify the system's sudoers file in order to execute all commands with root privileges. Thus, it is possible to escalate the limited privileges of the user www-data to root privileges.
