NETGEAR · ProSAFE Network Management System
A path traversal flaw in the ConfigFileController class of NETGEAR ProSAFE Network Management System 1.6.0.26 lets the process use a user-supplied realName parameter in file operations without properly validating the path. An remote attacker who has bypassed the existing authentication mechanism, which is required to reach the flaw, can disclose sensitive information or delete arbitrary files, causing denial of service on the system.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information and delete arbitrary files on affected installations of NETGEAR ProSAFE Network Management System 1.6.0.26. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed. The specific flaw exists within the ConfigFileController class. When parsing the realName parameter, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose sensitive information or to create a denial-of-service condition on the system. Was ZDI-CAN-12125.
