Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in blakeblackshear frigate up to 0.16.1. Affected by this issue is an unknown code block of the component Configuration File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a file inclusion vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-73. The product allows user input to control or influence paths or file names that are used in filesystem operations. Impacted is confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Frigate is a network video recorder (NVR) with realtime local object detection for IP cameras. Prior to 0.16.2, Frigate's export workflow allows an authenticated operator to nominate any filesystem location as the thumbnail source for a video export. Because that path is copied verbatim into the publicly served clips directory, the feature can be abused to read arbitrary files that reside on the host running Frigate. In practice, a low-privilege user with API access can pivot from viewing camera footage to exfiltrating sensitive configuration files, secrets, or user data from the appliance itself. This behavior violates the principle of least privilege for the export subsystem and turns a convenience feature into a direct information disclosure vector, with exploitation hinging on a short race window while the background exporter copies the chosen file into place before cleanup runs. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.16.2.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2025-62382 since 10/10/2025. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

Upgrading to version 0.16.2 eliminates this vulnerability.
