CVE-2024-7339: Provision-ISR SH-4050A5-5L Information Disclosure

CVE-2024-7339 Overview

CVE-2024-7339 is an information disclosure vulnerability affecting multiple Digital Video Recorder (DVR) devices from TVT, Provision-ISR, and AVISION. The vulnerability exists in the /queryDevInfo endpoint, which can be accessed remotely without authentication, allowing attackers to obtain sensitive device information. This flaw has been publicly disclosed and exploit code is available, increasing the risk of widespread exploitation against exposed devices.

Critical Impact
Unauthenticated remote attackers can extract sensitive device configuration and system information from vulnerable DVR devices, potentially enabling further targeted attacks against surveillance infrastructure.

Affected Products

TVT DVR TD-2104TS-CL (all firmware versions including 1.3.3.x and 1.3.4.x)
TVT DVR TD-2108TS-HP (all firmware versions including 1.3.3.x and 1.3.4.x)
Provision-ISR DVR SH-4050A5-5L(MM) (all firmware versions including 1.3.3.x and 1.3.4.x)

Technical Details for CVE-2024-7339

Vulnerability Analysis

This vulnerability is classified as an Information Disclosure flaw (CWE-200) that resides in the web interface of affected DVR devices. The /queryDevInfo endpoint fails to implement proper access controls, allowing any remote attacker to query sensitive device information without requiring authentication. These DVR devices are commonly deployed for physical security surveillance, making unauthorized information disclosure particularly concerning as it could facilitate reconnaissance for physical security breaches or network intrusion.

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the network with no user interaction required and low attack complexity. An attacker simply needs network access to the vulnerable device's web interface to retrieve confidential device data.

Root Cause

The root cause of CVE-2024-7339 is the lack of authentication and authorization controls on the /queryDevInfo endpoint. The web server handling requests to this endpoint does not verify whether the requester has valid credentials or appropriate permissions before returning device information. This design flaw allows any network-accessible client to retrieve potentially sensitive data about the DVR system.

Attack Vector

The attack vector for this vulnerability is network-based and requires no authentication. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by:

Identifying a vulnerable DVR device exposed on the network (either internally or internet-facing)
Sending an HTTP request to the /queryDevInfo endpoint
Receiving sensitive device information in the response without any authentication challenge

The exploit has been publicly disclosed, and according to the NetSecFish Information Disclosure Report, detailed technical information about the vulnerability is available. Attackers with network access can directly query the vulnerable endpoint to extract device configuration data, firmware versions, and other system information that could be leveraged for further attacks.

Detection Methods for CVE-2024-7339

Indicators of Compromise

HTTP requests targeting the /queryDevInfo endpoint on DVR web interfaces
Unusual access patterns to DVR device web interfaces from unexpected IP addresses
Network traffic analysis showing successful responses from /queryDevInfo without preceding authentication attempts
Increased reconnaissance activity against network segments hosting surveillance equipment

Detection Strategies

Monitor web server logs on DVR devices for requests to /queryDevInfo from unauthorized sources
Implement network intrusion detection rules to alert on access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint
Deploy network traffic analysis to identify scanning activity targeting DVR devices on common ports (80, 8080, 443)
Create firewall rules with logging enabled to track external access attempts to DVR web interfaces

Monitoring Recommendations

Conduct regular asset inventory to identify all DVR devices on the network and their exposure level
Monitor for mass scanning attempts targeting the /queryDevInfo endpoint across device populations
Implement SIEM rules to correlate DVR access attempts with known malicious IP addresses
Perform periodic vulnerability scans to identify exposed DVR devices and verify access controls

How to Mitigate CVE-2024-7339

Immediate Actions Required

Immediately restrict network access to affected DVR devices using firewall rules or network segmentation
Disable or block external/internet access to DVR web interfaces
Place vulnerable devices behind a VPN or other secure remote access solution
Audit existing DVR deployments to identify all affected device models and firmware versions
Monitor network traffic for exploitation attempts targeting the /queryDevInfo endpoint

Patch Information

At the time of publication, the vendors (TVT, Provision-ISR, and AVISION) have not responded to disclosure attempts and no official patches are available. Organizations should prioritize network-level mitigations and access controls until vendor patches are released. Refer to VulDB #273262 Advisory for updates on patch availability.

Workarounds

Implement strict network segmentation to isolate DVR devices from general network traffic
Configure firewall rules to allow only trusted management IP addresses to access DVR web interfaces
Deploy a reverse proxy with authentication in front of DVR web interfaces if remote access is required
Consider replacing affected devices with alternatives that have better security support and timely patch availability
Disable the web interface entirely if not required for operational needs
