Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
HOT HOTBOX router version 2.1.11
Description
A directory traversal issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by including a .. (dot dot) in a URI. For example, a request for "/etc/passwd" can be used to exploit this issue.
Recommendations
For version 2.1.11, consider restricting access to sensitive files and directories until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using URI requests that include .. (dot dot) to minimize the risk of exploitation.
