CVE-2013-10062Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary file disclosure via next_page traversal

Published Aug 1, 2025 · Updated Apr 7, 2026

Path traversal in Linksys E1500 firmware 1.0.00, 1.0.04, and 1.0.05 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary device files. The apply.cgi handler accepts ../ sequences in the next_page POST parameter and returns the resolved file instead of restricting access to the web root. Administrative HTTP credentials and network access to the management interface are required; disclosed output includes system and configuration data.
