CVE-2024-28753

Unauthenticated account-file disclosure via exposed AJAX endpoints

Published Mar 8, 2024 · Updated Nov 14, 2024

Information disclosure in RaspAP 3.0.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to read /etc/passwd through an unauthenticated web request. The exact request is undisclosed, but the upstream patch adds HTTP authentication to previously exposed AJAX PHP endpoints. Reachability requires network access to the web interface, and the demonstrated consequence is disclosure of local account records rather than file modification.
