ASUSTOR Data Master lets remote users read any file

CVE-2018-15698 · published 8 years ago
Summary

The ASUSTOR Data Master version 3.1.5 and earlier can be tricked by a logged‑in user who does not have admin rights into revealing any file on the system by supplying the full file path to a specific web script. This means confidential data could be exposed without needing elevated privileges. Update the software to a newer version or restrict access to the web interface to trusted users.
