Detailsinfo
A vulnerability was found in Endian Firewall 3.3.25 and classified as critical. This issue affects the function unlink of the file /cgi-bin/backup.cgi of the component Parameter Handler. The manipulation of the argument ARCHIVE with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Impacted is integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
Endian Firewall version 3.3.25 and prior allow authenticated users to delete arbitrary files via directory traversal in the remove ARCHIVE parameter to /cgi-bin/backup.cgi. The remove ARCHIVE parameter value is used to construct a file path without sanitization of directory traversal sequences, which is then passed to an unlink() call.
