Technical details
A Relative Path Traversal vulnerability (CWE-23) exists within the Administration WebUI of Waterfall WF-500 TX and RX Hosts. The flaw resides in how the web interface handles file paths, allowing an attacker to use special characters (such as '../') to bypass intended directory restrictions. This vulnerability is exploitable over the network without authentication or user interaction. A successful exploit allows a remote attacker to delete arbitrary files on the host operating system, potentially leading to a denial-of-service condition or system instability. The issue is confirmed in version 7.9.1.0 R2502171040.
