CVE-2017-9833: Boa

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 68.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

/cgi-bin/wapopen in Boa 0.94.14rc21 allows the injection of "../.." using the FILECAMERA variable (sent by GET) to read files with root privileges. NOTE: multiple third parties report that this is a system-integrator issue (e.g., a vulnerability on one type of camera) because Boa does not include any wapopen program or any code to read a FILECAMERA variable.

Affected products

• Boa Boa: version 0.94.14.21 only
