Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource due to the configuration file being created with overly permissive file permissions, allowing any local user to read sensitive information such as the admin password hash. An attacker can obtain confidential credentials by accessing the motion.conf file as an unprivileged user and may leverage this information for further attacks, such as offline password cracking or forging authenticated requests.
