VAR-200511-0357

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:16

Directory traversal vulnerability in the web server in Asus Video Security 3.5.0.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via "../" or "..\" sequences in the URL. Asus VideoSecurity Online is prone to a directory traversal vulnerability. Exploitation could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information that could be used to mount further attacks. The Web server included with Asus VideoSecurity Online is not enabled by default. This vulnerability is reported to affect Asus VideoSecurity Online 3.5.0 and earlier. VideoSecurity is a powerful video surveillance software.

TITLE: Asus VideoSecurity Online Two Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA17419

VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/17419/

CRITICAL: Moderately critical

IMPACT: Unknown, Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:

From remote

SOFTWARE: Asus VideoSecurity Online 3.x http://secunia.com/product/6043/

DESCRIPTION: Luigi Auriemma has reported two vulnerabilities in Asus VideoSecurity Online, where one has an unknown impact, and the other can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

1) A boundary error in the authorisation handling can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted request to the web server.

2) An input validation error in the request handling can be exploited to disclose the content of arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 3.5.0.0 and prior. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION: Disable the built-in web server.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Luigi Auriemma
