What is CVE-2018-9995?

Certain DVR devices, including the TBK DVR4104 and DVR4216 models, as well as various rebranded variants, are susceptible to a remote authentication bypass. By manipulating the 'Cookie: uid=admin' header, attackers can access sensitive functionalities without proper authentication. This vulnerability effectively allows unauthorized users to interact with device settings and potentially access video feeds. Notably, this issue can be exploited through specific requests that yield JSON data responses containing sensitive credentials.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
