9.8/10

Summary

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.

CWE-22 - Path Traversal

Path traversal (or directory traversal), is a vulnerability that allows malicious users to traverse the server's root directory, gaining access to arbitrary files and folders such as application code & data, back-end credentials, and sensitive operating system files. In the worst-case scenario, an attacker could potentially execute arbitrary files on the server, resulting in a denial of service attack. Such an exploit may severely impact the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of an application.
