Unauthenticated absolute-path disclosure via crafted request
Published Mar 12, 2025 · Updated Mar 12, 2025
Information disclosure in Hillstone Networks StoneOS 5.5R8P1 through 5.5R8P22 allows remote attackers to obtain absolute server paths. The vendor advisory says a crafted request makes an unspecified StoneOS request handler return an error containing an absolute path; the affected endpoint and faulty operation remain undisclosed. Authentication is not required, and the disclosed path reveals internal server structure that can guide further attacks without directly changing data or service availability.
