Online upgrade information in some firmware packages of Dahua products is not encrypted. Attackers can obtain this information by analyzing firmware packages by specific means. Affected products include: IPC-HDW1X2X,IPC-HFW1X2X,IPC-HDW2X2X,IPC-HFW2X2X,IPC-HDW4X2X,IPC-HFW4X2X,IPC-HDBW4X2X,IPC-HDW5X2X,IPC-HFW5X2X for versions which Build time is before August 18,2019.

The Amcrest IP2M-841B V2.520.AC00.18.R, Dahua IPC-XXBXX V2.622.0000000.9.R, Dahua IPC HX5X3X and HX4X3X V2.800.0000008.0.R, Dahua DH-IPC HX883X and DH-IPC-HX863X V2.622.0000000.7.R, Dahua DH-SD4XXXXX V2.623.0000000.7.R, Dahua DH-SD5XXXXX V2.623.0000000.1.R, Dahua DH-SD6XXXXX V2.640.0000000.2.R and V2.623.0000000.1.R, Dahua NVR5XX-4KS2 V3.216.0000006.0.R, Dahua NVR4XXX-4KS2 V3.216.0000006.0.R, and NVR2XXX-4KS2 do not require authentication to access the HTTP endpoint /videotalk. An unauthenticated, remote person can connect to this endpoint and potentionally listen to the audio of the capturing device.

Buffer overflow vulnerability found in some Dahua IP Camera devices IPC-HFW1XXX,IPC-HDW1XXX,IPC-HFW2XXX Build before 2018/11. The vulnerability exits in the function of redirection display for serial port printing information, which can not be used by product basic functions. After an attacker logs in locally, this vulnerability can be exploited to cause device restart or arbitrary code execution. Dahua has identified the corresponding security problems in the static code auditing process, so it has gradually deleted this function, which is no longer available in the newer devices and softwares. Dahua has released versions of the affected products to fix the vulnerability.

Dahua IP camera products using firmware versions prior to V2.400.0000.14.R.20170713 include a version of the Sonia web interface that may be vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow. Dahua IP camera products include an application known as Sonia (/usr/bin/sonia) that provides the web interface and other services for controlling the IP camera remotely. Versions of Sonia included in firmware versions prior to DH_IPC-Consumer-Zi-Themis_Eng_P_V2.408.0000.11.R.20170621 do not validate input data length for the 'password' field of the web interface. A remote, unauthenticated attacker may submit a crafted POST request to the IP camera's Sonia web interface that may lead to out-of-bounds memory operations and loss of availability or remote code execution. The issue was originally identified by the researcher in firmware version DH_IPC-HX1X2X-Themis_EngSpnFrn_N_V2.400.0000.30.R.20160803.

Privilege escalation vulnerability found in some Dahua IP devices. Attacker in possession of low privilege account can gain access to credential information of high privilege account and further obtain device information or attack the device.

Customer of Dahua IP camera or IP PTZ could submit relevant device information to receive a time limited temporary password from Dahua authorized dealer to reset the admin password. The algorithm used in this mechanism is potentially at risk of being compromised and subsequently utilized by attacker.

Firmware upgrade authentication bypass vulnerability was found in Dahua IPC-HDW4300S and some IP products. The vulnerability was caused by internal Debug function. This particular function was used for problem analysis and performance tuning during product development phase. It allowed the device to receive only specific data (one direction, no transmit) and therefore it was not involved in any instance of collecting user privacy data or allowing remote code execution.

Authentication vulnerability found in Dahua NVR models NVR50XX, NVR52XX, NVR54XX, NVR58XX with software before DH_NVR5xxx_Eng_P_V2.616.0000.0.R.20171102. Attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain access to additional operations by means of forging json message.

A Password in Configuration File issue was discovered in Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW23A0RN-ZS, DH-IPC-HDBW13A0SN, DH-IPC-HDW1XXX, DH-IPC-HDW2XXX, DH-IPC-HDW4XXX, DH-IPC-HFW1XXX, DH-IPC-HFW2XXX, DH-IPC-HFW4XXX, DH-SD6CXX, DH-NVR1XXX, DH-HCVR4XXX, DH-HCVR5XXX, DHI-HCVR51A04HE-S3, DHI-HCVR51A08HE-S3, and DHI-HCVR58A32S-S2 devices. The password in configuration file vulnerability was identified, which could lead to a malicious user assuming the identity of a privileged user and gaining access to sensitive information.

A Use of Password Hash Instead of Password for Authentication issue was discovered in Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW23A0RN-ZS, DH-IPC-HDBW13A0SN, DH-IPC-HDW1XXX, DH-IPC-HDW2XXX, DH-IPC-HDW4XXX, DH-IPC-HFW1XXX, DH-IPC-HFW2XXX, DH-IPC-HFW4XXX, DH-SD6CXX, DH-NVR1XXX, DH-HCVR4XXX, DH-HCVR5XXX, DHI-HCVR51A04HE-S3, DHI-HCVR51A08HE-S3, and DHI-HCVR58A32S-S2 devices. The use of password hash instead of password for authentication vulnerability was identified, which could allow a malicious user to bypass authentication without obtaining the actual password.
