Sony BRAVIA Digital Signage is a platform used globally by businesses and organizations to manage and display digital content across a range of devices. Frequently utilized in environments such as retail, corporate offices, and public spaces, this software facilitates the remote control and schedule of media content. Its comprehensive API enables integration with other systems and user-friendly interactions. Companies rely on it for dynamic advertising and information dissemination, making it a critical tool in digital communication strategies. This software helps enhance brand visibility and customer engagement through engaging visual displays, and its persistent synchronization capabilities ensure seamless operation.
The vulnerability identified as Information Disclosure occurs when the software inadvertently reveals sensitive system information. Attackers can exploit this weakness by accessing certain API endpoints without proper authorization. Such vulnerabilities can potentially provide malicious users with information about internal system configurations and data paths. The unauthorized disclosure can lead to increased risks of further attacks, where exposed information is used to orchestrate targeted and more severe security breaches. This vulnerability compromises data integrity and confidentiality, raising concerns for organizations utilizing this digital signage solution.
Technical details regarding this vulnerability focus on specific API endpoints and parameters that expose sensitive information. Unauthorized users can access information by probing endpoints such as "/api/system" which return system-related data. This sensitive data includes server configurations, network interface details, and time settings. The use of GET requests, coupled with specific content-type headers, facilitates this unauthorized access. Analyzing response bodies for targeted keywords can reveal precise network and system information. This exposure can be due to inadequate input validation and improper security setting adjustments on the exposed endpoints.
When exploited, this vulnerability may lead to unauthorized users gaining knowledge of the system's internal structure and configurations. This information can be used to compromise the system further or launch additional attacks, such as Denial of Service or data manipulation techniques. The breach of confidentiality might lead to leakage of proprietary or client-related data, impacting the organization's reputation and trustworthiness. Businesses might experience operational downtime and financial loss as additional security measures are necessitated. Malicious actors can leverage the disclosed information for lateral movement within the network, increasing the severity of breaches.
