Directory traversal vulnerability in the web-based management interface on the TP-LINK TL-WR841N router with firmware 3.13.9 build 120201 Rel.54965n and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the URL parameter.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
