      "value": "motionEye (mEye) is an online interface for motion software, which is a video surveillance program with motion detection. Versions prior to 0.44.0 are vulnerable to path traversal in the picture and movie API endpoints, suhc as /picture/{id}/preview/{filename}. Neither the API handlers, nor the mediafiles.py functions such as get_media_preview() check for .. sequences in the filename parameter, except for get_media_content(). This allows an authenticated user with normal (non-admin) privileges to read arbitrary files from the filesystem as the motionEye process user, such as:  /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, motionEye config files containing password hashes and plaintext passwords, SSH keys, and other cameras' surveillance footage. This issue has been fixed in version 0.44.0."

      "value": "motionEye (mEye) es una interfaz en línea para el software motion, que es un programa de videovigilancia con detección de movimiento. Las versiones anteriores a la 0.44.0 son vulnerables a salto de ruta en los endpoints de la API de imágenes y videos, como /picture/{id}/preview/{filename}. Ni los manejadores de la API, ni las funciones de mediafiles.py como get_media_preview() verifican secuencias .. en el parámetro filename, excepto get_media_content(). Esto permite a un usuario autenticado con privilegios normales (no de administrador) leer archivos arbitrarios del sistema de archivos como el usuario del proceso motionEye, tales como: /etc/p4ssd, /etc/sha4dow, archivos de configuración de motionEye que contienen hashes de contraseñas y contraseñas en texto plano, claves SSH y grabaciones de vigilancia de otras cámaras. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 0.44.0."
