Technical details

A directory traversal vulnerability exists within the uploadSSL method of ATEN Unizon, specifically at the /rest/system/ssl endpoint. The application fails to properly validate user-supplied pathnames during SSL certificate upload operations. An authenticated attacker with high privileges can provide a manipulated filename containing traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to target and delete files outside of the intended directory. This can result in a denial-of-service condition by removing critical system or application files. The vulnerability is addressed in firmware version 2.7.264.001.
