Summary
OpenEye Apex Network Video Recorder (NVR) firmware 3.2.9.376 trusts an X-Forwarded-For header supplied by an arbitrary client when determining the request source address. An unauthenticated remote attacker can spoof a loopback address to bypass local-connection-only security controls exposed on the affected non-TLS web interfaces and disclose configuration information. The underlying design has been present since at least firmware 2.2.3.4. Upgrade to version 3.5.4.
