CVE-2017-2829: An exploitable directory traversal vulnerability exists in the web management interface used by the Foscam...

An exploitable directory traversal vulnerability exists in the web management interface used by the Foscam C1 Indoor HD Camera running application firmware 2.52.2.37. A specially crafted HTTP request can cause the application to read a file from disk but a failure to adequately filter characters results in allowing an attacker to specify a file outside of a directory. An attacker can simply send an HTTP request to the device to trigger this vulnerability.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-2829 lets an authenticated network attacker read files from a vulnerable Foscam C1 camera through its web management interface. The issue is directory traversal: the camera fails to properly filter file path characters. Business risk is exposure of sensitive configuration or system files from camera devices. Exposure is most likely where Foscam C1 Indoor HD cameras run firmware 2.52.2.37 and their web management interface is reachable by users or networks beyond a tightly controlled admin segment. The source bundle does not establish exposure for other Foscam models or firmware versions. Treat this as a high-priority exposure-management issue for affected cameras, especially if management interfaces are broadly reachable. The main risk is unauthorized file disclosure from security devices, not confirmed destructive compromise based on the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Inventory Foscam C1 cameras and confirm application firmware versions.; Restrict web management access to trusted admin networks or VPN only.; Remove any direct internet exposure for camera management interfaces..
