Risk: 7.5 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

Summary

The web application of some Kyocera printers was vulnerable to path traversal, allowing an unauthenticated user to retrieve arbitrary files under certain conditions, and also allowed to check if files or folders existed within the file system.

It was only possible to obtain files from the system that had a whitelisted extension, therefore, it was not possible to obtain typical files such as /etc/passwd.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to access arbitrary files from the operating system.

Details

It was only possible to obtain files from the system that had a whitelisted extension, therefore, it was not possible to obtain typical files such as /etc/passwd.

Some extensions that seemed to be accepted were the following:

  • .htm
  • .js
  • .css
  • .ico
  • .sh
  • .png
  • .gif
