We’ve all heard the potential printer hacking horror stories, but according to viaForensics, attackers may find a way to hurt you by hacking your printer. With a little help from Google search, Adam Howard, aka warned there are “about 86,800 results for publically accessible HP printers.” He added, “There’s something interesting about being able to print to a random location around the world,” before advising that you should “lock down your printer.” On the Sophos security blog Naked Security, Paul Ducklin added, “Printing other people’s viral garbage wasn’t just a security risk, it cost real money in wasted paper and toner.”

Additionally, Rapid7 provided “ ScanNow UPnP, a free tool that can identify exposed UPnP endpoints in your network and flag which of those may remotely exploitable through recently discovered vulnerabilities.” It only supports Windows currently, but Mac OS X and Linux users can use a new module for the Metasploit pen testing framework to detect vulnerable UPnP services running inside a network.

Rapid7 published three lists of products vulnerable to Portable UPnP SDK flaws, MiniUPnP flaws, and which expose the UPnP SOAP service to the Internet. Disable UPnP - Consider disabling UPnP on the device if it is not absolutely necessary. Restrict Access - Deploy firewall rules to block untrusted hosts from being able to access port 1900/udp.

HD Moore wrote, “The Ray Sharp DVR platform supports the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol and automatically exposes the device to the internet if a UPnP-compatible router is responsible for network address translation (NAT) on the network.” And that leads us to Rapid7’s next big bombshell, three groups of security flaws that highlight the reasons why you should now unplug Universal Plug and Play.”Īccording to the CERT Program of the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Software Engineering Institute, solutions include: Apply an Update - libupnp 1.6.18 has been released to address these vulnerabilities. You could look at videos, pause and play, or just turn off the cameras and rob the store.” Basically the vulnerabilities allow “remote unauthorized access to security camera recording systems” would could allow an attacker to “watch, copy, delete or alter video streams at will, as well as to use the machines as jumping-off points to access other computers behind a company’s firewall.” Moore also told Forbes “The DVR gives you access to all their video, current and archived.
The DVR’s are often used for CCTV systems and security cameras, explained the Metasploit blog. The Metasploit team not only confirmed the security flaws in the Ray Sharp DVR platform, but also identified 18 more companies with nasty bugs in their code: Swann, Lorex, URMET, KGuard, Defender, DSP Cop, SVAT, Zmodo, BCS, Bolide, EyeForce, Atlantis, Protectron, Greatek, Soyo, Hi-View, Cosmos, and J2000. This time around, after SomeLuser went through all the technical details of using the security hole to gain access to the Ray Sharp DVR’s configuration, and grabbing the credentials stored in clear text, it was “strike three” which provoked “get this weak sh*t off my network.” SomeLuser pointed to the exploit scripts and summed it up with, “A whole slew of security DVR devices are vulnerable to an unauthenticated login disclosure and unauthenticated command injection.”
A plethora of vulnerable devices due to the flaws in the Universal Plug and Play protocol put around 50 million at risk somewhere in the neighborhood of about 58,000 security camera systems are vulnerable to hacking, and exploiting network printers top the list today for potential security mayhem.Ībout “ 58,000 security camera systems are critically vulnerable to attackers.” A post highlighting DVR insecurity started with SomeLuser from Console Cowboys, the same person who discovered a gaping hole in TRENDnet IP cameras a year ago, many of which are still unpatched and provide a Peeping Tom paradise.
