Authenticated arbitrary file read via path traversal
Published Aug 31, 2023 · Updated Jun 26, 2025
Path traversal in Zoho ManageEngine ADManager Plus before 7203 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files. ManageEngine has not disclosed the affected request handler or exact pathname-validation error; its advisory identifies only arbitrary file disclosure. Exploitation requires a Help Desk Technician account, and the consequence is limited to reading files on the ADManager Plus host.
