CVE-2022-43975Network attack vector

Unauthenticated file disclosure via web path traversal

Published Jan 17, 2023 · Updated Apr 7, 2025

Path traversal in GE Grid Solutions MS 3000 firmware before 3.7.6.25p0_3.2.2.17p0_4.7p0 allows remote attackers to read files and configurations. The FC46-WebBridge web server on TCP port 8888 accepts traversal paths that escape its intended directory and returns the referenced file contents. No authentication or user interaction is required; the documented operation exposes files and configurations readable by the service.
