Authenticated file deletion via unchecked path traversal
Published Oct 25, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
Path traversal in Robustel R1510 3.1.16 web_server allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary files via /ajax/remove/. The endpoint passes file_name and two folder selectors to create_sdk_path, then invokes rm -rf on the generated path without checking for traversal. Administrative web-interface access is required, and deletion is limited to files reachable by the router's web-server process.
