Path Traversal occurrences in Infrasuite Device Master
Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master Versions 00.00.01a and prior allow attacker provided data already serialized into memory to be used in file operation application programmable interfaces (APIs). This could create arbitrary files, which could be used in API operations and could ultimately result in remote code execution. (2022-10-31, CVE-2022-41657)
Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master Versions 00.00.01a and prior mishandle .ZIP archives containing characters used in path traversal. This path traversal could result in remote code execution. (2022-10-31, CVE-2022-41772)
Why Path Traversal can be dangerous
Relative Path Confusion means that your web server is configured to serve responses to ambiguous URLs. This configuration can possibly cause confusion about the correct relative path for the URL. It is also an issue of resources, such as images, styles etc., which are specified in the response using relative path, not the absolute URL.
If the web browser permits to parse "cross-content" response, the attacker may be able to fool the web browser into interpreting HTML into other content types, which can then lead to a cross site scripting attack (link do XSS).
