Arbitrary file read via unchecked FilePath traversal
Published Oct 17, 2025 · Updated Oct 17, 2025
Path traversal in Streamax Crocus 1.3.40 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary server files through DeviceFileReport.do. The Download handler appends the user-controlled FilePath value to /SystemFile without canonicalization or a directory-boundary check before opening the result. Access nominally requires a session cookie, but the published chain forges unsigned Saffron.U contents to bypass that gate and retrieve configuration data.
