An authenticated Path Traversal vulnerability exists in Instant AOS-8 and AOS-10. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to copy arbitrary files to a user readable location from the command line interface of the underlying operating system, which could lead to a remote unauthorized access to files.
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.
