Quick assessment

Affected
motioneye-project motioneye
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

motionEye是motionEye团队开源的一个守护进程的web前端。 motionEye 0.44.0之前版本存在路径遍历漏洞，该漏洞源于多个媒体文件处理程序中的绝对路径遍历问题，攻击者可通过用户控制的文件名参数构造文件系统路径，从而读取任意文件。

Vulnerability Title
motionEye's Absolute Path Traversal in Media File Handlers Allows Arbitrary File Read
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
motionEye (mEye) is an online interface for a piece of software called "motion," which is a video surveillance program with motion detection. Versions prior to 0.44.0 contain an absolute path traversal vulnerability in multiple media file handlers that allows an attacker to read arbitrary files from the filesystem. The affected handlers accept a user-controlled filename parameter and construct filesystem paths using `os.path.join()`. When an absolute path is supplied, Python discards the configured media directory and returns the attacker-supplied path directly. The application then bypasses Tornado's built-in path validation by overriding the relevant safety checks. As a result, an attacker can access files outside of the configured camera media directory, subject to the permissions of the motionEye process. Version 0.44.0 fixes the issue.
