A Path Traversal issue was discovered in Schneider Electric Pelco VideoXpert Enterprise all versions prior to 2.1. By sniffing communications, an unauthorized person can execute a directory traversal attack resulting in authentication bypass or session hijack.
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.
