Sensitive-file disclosure via Company Portal WebView traversal
Published Mar 26, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2024
Directory traversal in Yealink VP59 firmware 91.15.0.118 allows physically proximate attackers to read usernames and encrypted passwords. The Company Portal terms-of-use WebView fails to confine file navigation to its intended directory, allowing paths to reach sensitive device files. Physical access to the phone is required, and the disclosed consequence is read-only exposure of stored credential data.
