CVE-2022-25360Network attack vector

Authenticated file write via unrestricted upload path

Published Feb 24, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Unrestricted file upload in Fireware OS allows remote authenticated users to place files at arbitrary locations on Firebox and XTM appliances. Public records do not identify the upload handler or explain why it accepts an attacker-chosen path. Only unprivileged management credentials are required; the published sources do not establish code execution or a specific uploaded-file effect.
