CVE-2024-4296Network attack vector

Administrative file disclosure via unfiltered path parameters

Published Apr 29, 2024 · Updated Jul 14, 2025

Path traversal in HGiga iSherlock 4.5 and 5.5 allows remote authenticated users to download arbitrary system files through the account interface. The iSherlock-useradmin account-management interface accepts special characters in certain function parameters without filtering them as restricted paths. Administrative privileges are required, and the documented consequence is read-only disclosure of files accessible to the service.
