A vulnerability was found in Shenzhen TVT CCTV-DVR (the affected version is unknown). It has been declared as very critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown code of the file /language/[lang]/index.html of the component Cross Web Server. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-78.

As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in white-labeled DVRs manufactured by TVT, affecting a custom HTTP service called "Cross Web Server" that listens on TCP ports 81 and 82. The web interface fails to sanitize input in the URI path passed to the language extraction functionality. When the server processes a request to /language/[lang]/index.html, it uses the [lang] input unsafely in a tar extraction command without proper escaping. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject shell commands and achieve arbitrary command execution as root. Exploitation evidence was observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2025-02-06 UTC.
