TRENDnet TV-IP410 Command Injection Vulnerability

CVE advisorySeverity: CRITICAL (CVSS 9.8)

CVE-2024-46484

The affected product is an IP camera, which is commonly deployed as an internet-facing edge device for remote monitoring. These devices often expose management interfaces or web-based streaming services directly to the network, making them highly prone to public internet accessibility in common deployment patterns.

Horizon Alert

Summary of the vulnerability and why it matters

This advisory concerns a critical vulnerability found in a TRENDnet network camera model. The flaw allows for unauthorized command execution, potentially enabling attackers to compromise the device and its network. The primary concern is confirming if this specific device is in use and exposed, as direct internet exposure is common for such equipment.

Allows unauthorized control of camera devices.
Critical remote control flaw in network cameras.
Confirm exposure and relevance for security.

Attack Path

How an attacker could exploit the issue

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to the affected device over the network. This request would target a specific component that handles network services, allowing the attacker to inject operating system commands. Successful exploitation could grant the attacker significant control over the device.

No special access needed.
Inject commands via network request.
Full device compromise.

Live Threat

Current exploitation, exposure, and threat context

This vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated attacker to inject operating system commands through a specific component of the TRENDnet TV-IP410. When successful, this could lead to a compromise of the device's system and potentially allow the attacker to gain control over its operations or access stored information.

System commands and device control at risk.
Remote, unauthenticated command injection.
Full device compromise possible.

Operational Fix

Recommended remediation, mitigation, and detection steps

The discovery of an OS command injection vulnerability in the TRENDnet TV-IP410 device's `/server/cgi-bin/testserv.cgi` component indicates that network and security teams, alongside potentially infrastructure or platform teams managing device firmware, should prioritize assessing the exposure of these devices. The initial step involves identifying all deployed TV-IP410 units, confirming their network accessibility and business criticality, and locating the accountable owner for remediation planning based on the assessed risk.

Device owners and security teams should lead.
Verify network exposure and device criticality.
Plan targeted remediation and vendor coordination.

Frequently asked questions

What is the TRENDnet TV-IP410?

The TRENDnet TV-IP410 is an IP-based network camera designed for remote video surveillance. Users typically deploy these devices to monitor physical environments by streaming live footage over a network. It relies on internal firmware to manage device operations, process video feeds, and provide administrative access via web-based interfaces.

What does OS command injection mean for CVE-2024-46484?

This vulnerability falls under the Weakness Class CWE-78, which involves improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command. In this case, the device fails to filter inputs properly. An attacker can use this flaw to send malicious commands that the camera's operating system executes, effectively tricking the device into performing unintended actions like granting control or accessing stored data.

How can an attacker trigger this vulnerability?

An attacker exploits this by sending a specially crafted network request to the device's '/server/cgi-bin/testserv.cgi' component. This does not require prior authentication or special access credentials to the camera. The vulnerability is triggered solely through these malicious requests; normal video streaming or authorized management actions do not trigger the bug.

Why is this CVE considered relevant for my network?

According to Halo Surface Signal, these IP cameras are frequently deployed as internet-facing edge devices to allow for remote viewing. Because the management interfaces are often exposed directly to the public internet, the device is more accessible to attackers than internal hardware, increasing the likelihood that a vulnerable unit could be targeted.

What are the first steps to address this issue?

Start by performing an inventory of your environment to identify all deployed TRENDnet TV-IP410 units. Verify their current network configuration to determine if they are exposed to the internet or accessible within your internal network. Once identified, document which team manages these units and begin coordinating with the vendor to plan for firmware updates or other necessary security adjustments.
