Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload through a multi-stage chain involving the download, get_media_content, get_current_user, restore, and post processes. An attacker can gain unauthorized access, escalate privileges, read arbitrary files, and execute arbitrary code by chaining local file read, signature forgery, unsafe archive extraction, and unauthenticated action execution endpoints. This is only exploitable if at least one local motion camera is configured and the relevant endpoints are reachable, with unauthenticated exploitation possible if the normal user password is unset.
