CVE-2025-65075
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows high-privileged attackers to perform path traversal attacks through the alog script in WaveView client, enabling file read/delete operations on the WaveStore Server with dvr user permissions. It affects WaveView client users connecting to vulnerable WaveStore Servers. The issue requires attacker access to high-privilege accounts.
💻 Affected Systems
- WaveView client
- WaveStore Server
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of dvr user files on server including sensitive configuration files, video recordings, and system files leading to data destruction or exfiltration.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to and deletion of video recordings and log files, potentially disrupting surveillance operations.
If Mitigated
Limited impact due to proper privilege separation and network segmentation restricting attacker access.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires high-privilege credentials but uses simple path traversal techniques once authenticated.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 6.44.44
Vendor Advisory: https://www.wavestore.com/products/video-management-software
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Download WaveView version 6.44.44 from official vendor site. 2. Install update on all WaveView clients. 3. Restart WaveView services. 4. Verify server connections are functioning.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict alog script permissions
linuxRemove execute permissions from alog script or restrict to specific trusted users
chmod 644 /path/to/alog_script
chown root:root /path/to/alog_script
Implement strict input validation
allAdd path traversal validation in WaveView client configuration
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict access controls limiting high-privilege accounts to essential personnel only
- Segment network to isolate WaveStore Server from general user networks and implement firewall rules
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check WaveView client version and verify if below 6.44.44. Review user privilege assignments for WaveView access.Check Version:
waveview --version or check About dialog in WaveView GUIVerify Fix Applied:
Confirm WaveView client version is 6.44.44 or higher. Test alog script functionality with path traversal attempts.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual file access patterns by dvr user
- Multiple failed path traversal attempts in application logs
- Unexpected file deletion events
Network Indicators:
- Abnormal WaveView client to server communication patterns
- Unexpected file transfer activities
