CVE-2024-52548Known exploitationPublic exploit

Native code execution via unsigned LD_PRELOAD library

Published Dec 3, 2024 · Updated Dec 3, 2024

Code-signing bypass in Lorex 2K Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera firmware allows local users to execute arbitrary native code. The kernel permits LD_PRELOAD to load an attacker-written ELF shared object into a valid signed executable without enforcing its signature. Root-level OS command execution is required to write the library and launch the signed process; the flaw then enables native payloads such as a reverse shell.
