Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists in the ping and traceroute functions of the web administrative console in Cambium Networks cnPilot due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input processed by the Readfile script when a ping or traceroute command is issued. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits directory traversal characters and gain access to sensitive information, such as the admin password of the device, which could result in a complete system compromise.


Remediation

Update to version 4.3.4-R8.
