Authenticated file disclosure via absolute path traversal
Published Jan 9, 2025 · Updated Jan 17, 2025
Absolute path traversal in SonicWall SonicOS management allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files from the appliance. SonicWall has not disclosed the affected management endpoint or how it accepts and resolves attacker-controlled absolute paths. Administrative authentication and network access to the management interface are required, and the reported consequence is file disclosure only.
