Attackers can send GET requests with type=db_backup and ../ sequences in name to read files like /etc/passwd, and a hardcoded systemi account makes authentication effectively trivial. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2023-10-19.","cvssScore":6.5,"cvssSeverity":"MEDIUM","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","cwes":["CWE-22"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates/blob/main/http/vulnerabilities/other/wapples-firewall-lfi.yaml","tags":[]},{"url":"https://medium.com/@_sadshade/wapples-web-application-firewall-multiple-vulnerabilities-35bdee52c8fb","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.pentasecurity.com/product/wapples/","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/penta-security-wapples-4.0.54.1-5.0-6.0-path-traversal-via-webapi-file-transfer","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei-templates/blob/main/http/vulnerabilities/other/wapples-firewall-lfi.yaml","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
