Introduction:
-------------
Sunell's IPR54/14AKDN(II)/13 is an all-in-one Bullet camera designed for indoor
and outdoor applications. Equipped with a 2MP sensor enabling viewing
resolution of 1920*1080 at a smooth 30fps.The camera is capable of capturing
high quality video at high resolution of up to 2MP even in low light environments. [1]

Compass Security discovered a web application security flaw in the camera's
web interface, which allows an attacker to manipulate the resulting website.
This allows, for instance, attacking the user's browser or redirecting the
user to a phishing website. In order to do so, the attacker needs to, e.g., change
the current user's username.

Affected:
---------
Vulnerable:
* v2.0.0801.1002.1.1.136.0.0

Technical Description
---------------------
The camera's web interface employs a username, which can be manipulated.
If this parameter contains JavaScript code, it is executed in the user's
browser, once a page is visited, which contains the username. Exploiting
the vulnerability will lead to so-called Cross-Site Scripting (XSS),
allowing the execution of JavaScript in the context of the victim.

After a new user with manipulated username has been created, this user
is used to login.
