CVE-2010-4231 is a directory traversal vulnerability in the built-in web-based administration interface of the Camtron CMNC-200 Full HD IP Camera, the TecVoz CMNC-200 Megapixel IP Camera, and OEM variants running firmware 1.102A-008. The web server, which is enabled by default, fails to properly sanitize path traversal sequences in the request URI, allowing remote attackers to traverse outside the intended web root and read arbitrary files from the underlying camera file system. Reported examples include access to sensitive Unix account data, and the issue is particularly severe because the web server runs with root privileges. Authentication is not required to exploit the flaw.

This repository contains a Bash script (CVE-2010-4231.sh) and a detailed README.md describing a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2010-4231, a directory traversal vulnerability in Camtron and TecVoz IP cameras (CMNC-200 models, firmware 1.102A-008). The exploit script takes a target URL as input and attempts to retrieve the contents of /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow by sending HTTP GET requests with directory traversal sequences in the path. If successful, the script outputs the contents of these files, demonstrating the ability to read arbitrary files from the device. The README provides background, mitigation advice, and a technical explanation of the vulnerability. The exploit is a proof-of-concept and does not provide weaponized or post-exploitation capabilities.
