Technical details

HFS2 versions 2.4.0 and earlier contain a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the macro dispatcher and path resolver components. Unauthenticated network attackers can exploit the lack of authorization model combined with insufficient path validation to manipulate the template engine and access files outside the intended shared folder. The vulnerability enables complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the affected host.
