1DescriptionCVE.org
GFI Exinda AI before 7.6.5 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the system maintenance configuration download handler. The wcf_handle_download() function accepts parameters prefixed with v_del_ and appends their values directly to the base configuration directory path without sanitizing for directory traversal sequences. An authenticated attacker with Admin privileges can read arbitrary files from the system in the context of root.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in GFI Exinda AI before 7.6.5 allows an authenticated administrator to read arbitrary files from the underlying system as root. The vulnerability resides in the wcf_handle_download() function within the system maintenance configuration download handler, which fails to sanitize directory traversal sequences embedded in parameters prefixed with v_del_ before appending them to the base configuration directory path. …
