A file disclosure and inclusion vulnerability exists in web/views/file.php in ZoneMinder 1.x through v1.30.0 because of unfiltered user-input being passed to readfile(), which allows an authenticated attacker to read local system files (e.g., /etc/passwd) in the context of the web server user (www-data). The attack vector is a .. (dot dot) in the path parameter within a zm/index.php?view=file&path= request.

Security readout for executives and security teams

ZoneMinder 1.x through 1.30.0 allowed a logged-in user to make the application read unintended server files. This could expose operating system or application data readable by the web server account. The sources do not show unauthenticated access, remote code execution, or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is limited to environments running ZoneMinder 1.x through 1.30.0, especially where authenticated users have access to the web interface. Internet-facing or shared-admin deployments carry higher business risk because a valid account could read sensitive local files. Prioritize remediation for any exposed ZoneMinder deployment with multiple users or internet access. The issue can expose sensitive server files after login, which may support credential theft or deeper compromise, but the supplied evidence does not show active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade to a ZoneMinder release that includes the referenced vendor fix.; If upgrading is delayed, restrict ZoneMinder access to trusted administrators only.; Review ZoneMinder vendor guidance for the exact fixed release and supported upgrade path..
