Authentication bypass via world-readable session logs
Published Jun 14, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Sensitive-data exposure in Toshiba Tec e-STUDIO MFPs allows local users to steal authentication sessions from device logs. The HTTP service writes SessionID and cookie values into world-readable files under /ramdisk/al/network/log instead of filtering sensitive data. No appliance account is required; recovered sessions permit authentication bypass, while remote retrieval requires chaining a separate file-read or code-execution flaw.
