CVE-2018-25140 Details
Description
FLIR thermal traffic cameras contain an unauthenticated device manipulation vulnerability in their WebSocket implementation that allows attackers to bypass authentication and authorization controls. Attackers can directly modify device configurations, access system information, and potentially initiate denial of service by sending crafted WebSocket messages without authentication.
A vulnerability allowing unauthenticated manipulation of device settings has been identified in FLIR thermal traffic cameras. This issue arises from an insecure implementation of WebSocket communication in various models, including TrafiOne, ThermiCam, TrafiSense, and others. The vulnerability allows attackers to bypass authentication and authorization, directly alter device configurations, access sensitive system information, and potentially cause a denial-of-service by sending crafted WebSocket messages. Additionally, the lack of support for secure WebSocket connections exposes plain-text traffic to potential interception.
FLIR has released firmware updates to address this vulnerability. Instructions for applying the update can be found on the FLIR website.
