Frigate is an open source network video recorder. In version 0.17.1, the GET /api/logs/{service} endpoint allows any authenticated user including the viewer role to download Frigate and nginx logs, exposing auto-generated admin passwords and camera credentials logged in request query strings and enabling viewer-to-admin privilege escalation. A fixed release has not been identified.
