Authenticated file writes via HTTP path traversal
Published Oct 5, 2023 · Updated Sep 19, 2024
Path traversal in Dell SmartFabric Storage Software 1.4.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to write arbitrary files. Dell identifies the HTTP interface as the affected locus but has not published the request handler, path parameter, or missing validation that permits traversal beyond the intended directory. Successful exploitation requires valid credentials and permits file modification or creation at attacker-chosen locations within the license container.
