Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
1) No validation on cookie values
Both cloud services (hik-connect.com and ezvizlife.com) rely on cookie value AS_UserID to authenticate the user.Directly changing the value to another valid User id will result in hijacking that user session and be access its cameras/DVRS and change its password and/or email and phone.As the user id is not an incremental number but a hash we will need a way of finding out valid User ids.
In order to do that we can use the https://xxx.ezvizlife.com/friend/queryByMobile.json or endpoint AFTER making that user a friend and get his userId.
That endpoints has a GET parameter (mobile) that will check for a user with username, email or phone number.
After that changing the cookie value to his user id will result in having us logged in as that user.
