Technical details

A directory traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in the wallpaper parsing functionality of multiple Barco ClickShare models. The flaw is located in the component responsible for processing wallpaper images, where insufficient input validation allows an attacker to use special characters (e.g., '../') to navigate outside the intended directory. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this over the network to read arbitrary files from the underlying Linux filesystem, specifically targeting /etc/shadow to obtain password hashes. The vulnerability is addressed in CSC-1 firmware 01.09.03, CSM-1 firmware 01.06.02, and CSE-200 firmware 01.03.02.
