Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
motionEye versions before 0.44.0 create the configuration file /etc/motioneye/motion.conf and per-camera camera-*.conf files with world-readable permissions. A local user with no elevated privileges can read the admin password hash stored in motion.conf, which can then be cracked offline or used in other attacks. Upgrade to motioneye 0.44.0 or later, which sets these files to mode 0600.
