What to do
AI-suggested
Until a fix is available, restrict access to the HTTP API module to trusted networks and users only to prevent unauthenticated access to the vulnerable endpoints.
Description
An incorrect access control vulnerability in the HTTP API module of ZLMediaKit (commit 9fd5152) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands. This is achieved by accessing the setServerConfig API endpoint to overwrite the ffmpeg.snap configuration parameter, which is then executed with the privileges of the ZLMediaKit process via the getSnap API endpoint.
