Description
Frigate is an open source network video recorder. Prior to 0.18.0, the prefix-matched location /api/go2rtc/api in docker/main/rootfs/usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf requires authentication but does not require an administrator role for GET requests, exposing the proxied go2rtc API to viewer users. An authenticated viewer can request the streams, config, log, and stack subpaths to obtain internal addresses, configuration paths, application logs, goroutine stack data, and RTSP stream URLs that may contain camera credentials. Non-GET methods remain blocked by limit_except GET. This issue is fixed in version 0.18.0.

AI Analysis

Impact

An unauthorized GET request to the internal go2rtc API endpoint in Frigate allows a user with a viewer role to retrieve sensitive information such as internal addresses, configuration paths, application logs, goroutine stack traces, and RTSP stream URLs that may contain camera credentials. This bypasses the intended administrator‑only restriction and constitutes a privilege‑escalation and information‑disclosure vulnerability (CWE‑863).

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Frigate deployments built by blakeblackshear before version 0.18.0. Any instance using a pre‑0.18.0 image is susceptible unless the misconfigured route has been manually secured or disabled.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.7 indicates a potentially serious risk. While the EPSS score is not available, the simplicity of the bypass—requiring only a logged‑in viewer account—means exploitation is straightforward for an attacker who can obtain or assume such credentials. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, so there is no immediate evidence of active exploitation, but the lack of an admin role requirement suggests it could be leveraged by a rogue or compromised user.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Frigate installation to version 0.18.0 or later.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately feasible, modify the Nginx configuration to require administrator privileges for the /api/go2rtc/ prefix or disable the API altogether.
  • Review user roles and ensure viewer accounts are limited to only the permissions they need, and consider implementing multi‑factor authentication for accounts with elevated privileges.
