Technical details

An authenticated local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the 'play_file' functionality of Sangoma Switchvox SMB Edition. The application accepts user-controlled input via the 'sound_path' parameter but fails to validate or sanitize the file path before accessing the filesystem. By providing absolute file paths, an authenticated attacker with network access to the web portal can bypass directory restrictions to retrieve sensitive files from the server. This vulnerability is classified as CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path) and has been addressed in version 8.4.0.2.
