The issue allows Directory Traversal via ../ in conjunction with a
loginLess or login.htm URI to the web server, enabling authentication bypass. This is demonstrated by the /loginLess/../../etc/passwd URI, which showcases the vulnerability.Recommendations
For MERCUSYS Mercury X18G version 1.0.5, consider restricting access to the
loginLess and login.htm URIs as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Additionally, avoid using the ../ sequence in conjunction with these URIs to minimize the risk of exploitation. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
