CVE-2023-38951 (GCVE-0-2023-38951)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-08-03 00:00 – Updated: 2025-05-27 19:16

Summary

ZKTeco BioTime 8.5.5 through 9.x before 9.0.1 (20240617.19506) allows authenticated attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the server via crafted requests to /base/sftpsetting/ endpoints that abuse a path traversal issue in the Username field and a lack of input sanitization on the SSH Key field. Overwriting specific files may lead to arbitrary code execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

Severity ?

9.8 (Critical)
