JAWS Webserver RCE in MVPower CCTV DVR
MVPower CCTV DVR devices, including models such as TV-7104HE firmware 1.8.4 115215B9 and TV7108HE, contain an exposed web shell reachable via the /shell URI on the embedded JAWS web server. The endpoint allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to supply arbitrary operating system commands, which are executed by the device as root. The issue is effectively a built-in backdoor/command-execution interface exposed over HTTP and has been widely referred to as the "JAWS webserver RCE." Reporting indicates that additional firmware versions from at least 2014 through 2019 may also be affected.
