CVE-2024-7059Network attack vector

Administrative code execution via unsafe Web SDK reflection

Published Nov 5, 2024 · Updated Nov 9, 2024

Unsafe reflection in Genetec Security Center allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code through the Web SDK role. The Web SDK uses externally controlled input to select code beyond its reserved function set, causing selected code to run with administrative privileges. Exploitation requires the normally disabled role, an account with SDK logon privilege, and a valid Web SDK certificate.
