Frigate is an open source network video recorder. Prior to 0.17.2, the WebSocket handler in frigate/comms/ws.py forwards attacker-selected message topics to the dispatcher without checking the authenticated user's role because the nginx authentication subrequest does not provide role-aware authorization to the handler. Any authenticated viewer can send admin-only topics such as restart, notifications/set, and camera detection, recording, snapshot, audio, motion, and enablement settings, causing service restarts or disabling security monitoring functions. Authentication must be enabled and valid viewer credentials are required. This issue is fixed in version 0.17.2.
CVE-2026-75607
This high-severity CVE scores 8.1 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
