Title
GFI Exinda AI / ClearView < 7.6.5 Path Traversal via Configuration Download Handler
Summary
GFI Exinda AI and ClearView 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.
Severity
