Summary

PCViewer vt1000 contains a directory traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by submitting relative path sequences in GET requests. Attackers can use sequences like ../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd to access sensitive system files outside the intended directory.

Risk Assessment

The risk is the ability to read sensitive system files such as /etc/passwd, potentially leading to credential leakage and further attack escalation.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update PCViewer vt1000 to a version that fixes the directory traversal vulnerability, or apply temporary mitigations such as input path validation.
