It is stated that ZoneMinder is installed by both private users and businesses. This indicates that there is a serious danger of cutting off the infrastructure of the security service, employees, the possibility of snooping on the internal structure of buildings. For ordinary users, this is fraught with surveillance and even the resale of access to the camera on the darknet or its inclusion in the aggregator of open-access surveillance systems.

ZoneMinder is used in the USA, Poland, Italy, Germany, Luxembourg and Russia. This was said by Ilya Yatsenko, an employee of Positive Technologies, who discovered the vulnerability.

Another employee of Positive Technologies, head of the information security threat analysis group, Vadim Solovyov, also spoke about the scale of opportunities for hackers. “Through Shodan (a service for finding devices connected to the Internet), you can see about 50 servers running ZoneMinder in Russia. Every server is an organization. Each organization has dozens or even hundreds of cameras, ”said Soloviev.

At the same time, ZoneMinder is reportedly currently fixing this vulnerability by releasing a new version of the system.
