Sensitive file disclosure via unrestricted web-server paths
Published Feb 1, 2026 · Updated Feb 1, 2026
Path traversal in Free Photo & Video Vault 0.0.2 allows remote attackers with WiFi access to read sensitive iOS system files. The WiFi transfer web server accepts traversal sequences in request paths without restricting them to its intended file directory. Guest-level WiFi access is sufficient; no privileged application account or user interaction is required, and the demonstrated request reads /etc/passwd.
