VAR-200511-0357
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:16Directory 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

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
