High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

By design, the built-in FTP server for iSeries AS/400 systems does not support a restricted document root, which allows attackers to read or write arbitrary files, including sensitive QSYS databases, via a full pathname in a GET or PUT request.

Risk Assessment

The organization is exposed to unauthorized access to critical system data and the possibility of its modification, which may lead to a breach of information confidentiality and integrity.

Recommendation
