The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in the skin management component. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and delete arbitrary files on the system.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-37373)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the Central Filestore. A remote administrator can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-37399)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in WLAvalancheService. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Off-by-one (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36136)
CWE-ID: CWE-193 - Off-by-one Error
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one error in WLInfoRailService. A remote attacker can trigger an off-by-one error and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
5) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38653)
CWE-ID: CWE-611 - Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input in SmartDeviceServer. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
