ZoneMinder before 1.36.13 allows remote code execution via an invalid language. Ability to create a debug log file at an arbitrary pathname contributes to exploitability.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ZoneMinder before 1.36.13 allows remote code execution via an invalid language. Ability to create a debug     log file at an arbitrary pathname contributes to exploitability. (CVE-2022-29806)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 20.04 ESM / 22.04 ESM host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5889-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that ZoneMinder was not properly sanitizing URL parameters for certain views. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This issue was only     fixed in Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-6777)

    It was discovered that ZoneMinder was not properly sanitizing stored user input later printed to the user     in certain views. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS)     attack. This issue was only fixed in Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-6990, CVE-2019-6992)

    It was discovered that ZoneMinder was not properly limiting data size and not properly performing bound     checks when processing username and password data, which could lead to a stack buffer overflow. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass authentication, cause a denial of service or execute     arbitrary code. This issue was only fixed in Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-6991)

    It was discovered that ZoneMinder was not properly defining and filtering data that was appended to the     webroot URL of a view. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform cross-site scripting (XSS)     attacks. This issue was only fixed in Ubuntu 16.04 ESM and Ubuntu 20.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-7325,     CVE-2019-7329)

    It was discovered that ZoneMinder was not properly sanitizing stored user input later printed to the user     in certain views. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS)     attack. This issue was only fixed in Ubuntu 20.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-7326)

    It was discovered that ZoneMinder was not properly sanitizing URL parameters for certain views. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This issue was only     fixed in Ubuntu 20.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-7327, CVE-2019-7328, CVE-2019-7330, CVE-2019-7332)

    It was discovered that ZoneMinder was not properly sanitizing user input in the monitor editing view. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This issue was only     fixed in Ubuntu 16.04 ESM and Ubuntu 20.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-7331)

    It was discovered that ZoneMinder was not properly sanitizing data related to file paths in a system. An     attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-29806)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
