The communication protocol used between the server process and the service control had a flaw that could lead to a local privilege escalation.
Weakness
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camera_station_pro | Axis | * | 6.8.43213 (excluding) |
| Device_manager | Axis | * | 5.32.137 (excluding) |
Potential Mitigations
- Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
- An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
