Descriptions

Advantech WebAccess 8.3.1 and earlier has a .dll component that is susceptible to external control of file name or path vulnerability, which may allow an arbitrary file deletion when processing.

Advantech WebAccess 8.3.1 y anteriores tiene un componente .dll que es susceptible a una vulnerabilidad de control externo de ruta o nombre de archivo, lo que podría permitir la eliminación de un archivo arbitrario al procesarse.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files on vulnerable installations of Advantech WebAccess Node. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x2715 IOCTL in the webvrpcs process. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this functionality to delete files under the context of Administrator.
