Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the formUploadFile() function of the boa web server component, where user-supplied filename input from multipart form data is not properly validated before being passed to file write operations. An authenticated HTTP request to /boafrm/formUploadFile can bypass directory restrictions (CWE-22) and write files to arbitrary locations, enabling remote code execution through firmware modification or executable placement.
