CVE-2025-41271Network attack vector

Unauthenticated file read via relative path traversal

Published May 29, 2026 · Updated May 29, 2026

Relative path traversal in the Console WebUI of Waterfall WF-500 7.9.1.0 R2502171040 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files. The public advisory identifies the Console WebUI as the locus but does not disclose the affected endpoint or the path-validation operation that fails. No authentication or user interaction is required; successful traversal exposes device files but does not provide file modification or service interruption.
