CVE-2024-8956 (GCVE-0-2024-8956)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-09-17 19:59 – Updated: 2025-11-22 12:09 X_Known Exploited VulnerabilityTitle
PTZOptics NDI and SDI Cameras /cgi-bin/param.cgi Insufficient Authentication
Summary
PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI-xx before firmware 6.3.40 is vulnerable to an insufficient authentication issue. The camera does not properly enforce authentication to /cgi-bin/param.cgi when requests are sent without an HTTP Authorization header. The result is a remote and unauthenticated attacker can leak sensitive data such as usernames, password hashes, and configurations details. Additionally, the attacker can update individual configuration values or overwrite the whole file.

Notes: PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI Cameras Authentication Bypass Vulnerability | Affected: PTZOptics / PT30X-SDI/NDI Cameras | Description: PTZOptics PT30X-SDI/NDI cameras contain an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability that allows a remote, attacker to bypass authentication for the /cgi-bin/param.cgi CGI script. If combined with CVE-2024-8957, this can lead to remote code execution as root. | Required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. | Due date: 2024-11-25 | Known ransomware campaign use (KEV): Unknown | Notes (KEV): https://ptzoptics.com/firmware-changelog/ ; https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-8956

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
