Title
Frigate Vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read via Export Thumbnail "image_path" parameter
Summary
Frigate is a network video recorder (NVR) with realtime local object detection for IP cameras. Prior to 0.16.2, Frigate's export workflow allows an authenticated operator to nominate any filesystem location as the thumbnail source for a video export. Because that path is copied verbatim into the publicly served clips directory, the feature can be abused to read arbitrary files that reside on the host running Frigate. In practice, a low-privilege user with API access can pivot from viewing camera footage to exfiltrating sensitive configuration files, secrets, or user data from the appliance itself. This behavior violates the principle of least privilege for the export subsystem and turns a convenience feature into a direct information disclosure vector, with exploitation hinging on a short race window while the background exporter copies the chosen file into place before cleanup runs. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.16.2.

Antes de la versi\u00f3n 0.16.2, el flujo de trabajo de exportaci\u00f3n de Frigate permite a un operador autenticado nominar cualquier ubicaci\u00f3n del sistema de archivos como la fuente de miniaturas para una exportaci\u00f3n de v\u00eddeo. Debido a que esa ruta se copia textualmente en el directorio de clips servido p\u00fablicamente, la caracter\u00edstica puede ser abusada para leer archivos arbitrarios que residen en el host que ejecuta Frigate. En la pr\u00e1ctica, un usuario de bajo privilegio con acceso a la API puede pasar de ver el metraje de la c\u00e1mara a exfiltrar archivos de configuraci\u00f3n sensibles, secretos o datos de usuario del propio dispositivo. Este comportamiento viola el principio de m\u00ednimo privilegio para el subsistema de exportaci\u00f3n y convierte una caracter\u00edstica de conveniencia en un vector directo de revelaci\u00f3n de informaci\u00f3n, con la explotaci\u00f3n dependiendo de una corta ventana de carrera mientras el exportador en segundo plano copia el archivo elegido en su lugar antes de que se ejecute la limpieza.

              "value": "Frigate is a network video recorder (NVR) with realtime local object detection for IP cameras. Prior to 0.16.2, Frigate\u0027s export workflow allows an authenticated operator to nominate any filesystem location as the thumbnail source for a video export. Because that path is copied verbatim into the publicly served clips directory, the feature can be abused to read arbitrary files that reside on the host running Frigate. In practice, a low-privilege user with API access can pivot from viewing camera footage to exfiltrating sensitive configuration files, secrets, or user data from the appliance itself. This behavior violates the principle of least privilege for the export subsystem and turns a convenience feature into a direct information disclosure vector, with exploitation hinging on a short race window while the background exporter copies the chosen file into place before cleanup runs. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.16.2."
