Arbitrary file disclosure via crafted URL traversal
Published Mar 2, 2021 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Path traversal in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator 9.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files. The web interface accepts a specially crafted URL request that traverses outside its intended path; Dell has not disclosed the affected handler or validation error. Administrator privileges in OMSA are required, and the documented impact is read-only disclosure of files on the target system.
