Authenticated file access via export path traversal
Published May 1, 2025 · Updated May 2, 2025
Path traversal in SecGate 3600 Firewall 2024 allows remote authenticated users to access files via a crafted file_name value. The obj_area_export_save handler constructs an export path from that value without neutralizing traversal elements that escape the intended directory. Low-privileged interface access is required, and successful exploitation provides limited file access or modification and can interrupt service.
