Unauthenticated file access via unrestricted TFTP
Published Jan 9, 2024 · Updated Oct 8, 2025
Missing authentication in Korenix JetNet Series firmware before 2024/01 allows remote attackers to read or write files through TFTP. The TFTP service accepts unauthenticated GET and PUT operations for absolute paths under /home, including an uploaded firmware image. Network access to the appliance is sufficient; successful requests expose or replace files in the restricted directory without device credentials.
