Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

Contact NUUO support for patching guidance as no official patch information is available.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Isolation

linux

Block external access to camera web interfaces

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP

Access Restriction

all

Restrict access to /handle_config.php file

chmod 000 /path/to/handle_config.php

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation to isolate camera systems from critical networks
  • Deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules to block command injection patterns

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if NUUO Camera version is 20250203 or earlier via web interface or system logs

Check Version:

Check web interface or contact NUUO support for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify /handle_config.php file permissions are restricted or file is removed

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual POST requests to /handle_config.php
  • Suspicious command execution in system logs
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from camera systems
  • Traffic to known malicious IPs
  • Unexpected port scanning from camera IPs

SIEM Query:

source="camera_logs" AND (uri="/handle_config.php" OR command="print_file")
