Technical details
An information disclosure and authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the bundled Apache HTTP Server configuration for ZoneMinder versions 1.29 and 1.30.0. The flaw stems from the 'Indexes' option being enabled in the default Apache configuration files (e.g., zoneminder.conf), which permits directory listing across the web root. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by navigating to specific URIs, such as /events, to bypass intended access controls and view stored surveillance footage and images. The issue was addressed by removing 'Indexes' from the Options directive in the Apache configuration templates.
