CISA has published an advisory detailing CVE-2026-76060, an authenticated OS command injection vulnerability affecting ZoneMinder versions 1.37.48 through 1.38.3. The flaw exists in the event export functionality, where the exportFile HTTP request parameter is passed unsanitized into a shell command executed via PHP's exec() function. Any authenticated user with View Events permission can exploit this to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the server, potentially achieving full remote code execution as the web server user.
A public proof-of-concept exploit was discovered by CISA, authored by a researcher going by 'Scriptkittens', and responsibly reported to ZoneMinder. CISA states no known public exploitation targeting this vulnerability has been reported at this time. ZoneMinder is deployed worldwide and used across critical infrastructure sectors as video surveillance and monitoring software.
ZoneMinder recommends upgrading to version 1.38.3 or later, with the fix and further details available via the vendor's GitHub security advisory. CISA also reiterates standard ICS defensive guidance: minimize internet exposure of control system devices, isolate them behind firewalls from business networks, and use secure remote access methods such as VPNs where necessary.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
