Advantech iView, versiones 5.7 y anteriores. El producto afectado es susceptible a vulnerabilidades de salto de ruta que podrían permitir a un atacante crear y descargar archivos arbitrarios, limitar la disponibilidad del sistema y ejecutar código remotamente

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Advantech iView. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of calls to the findSummaryCfgDeviceListExport method of the NetworkServlet class. When parsing the filename parameter, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of SYSTEM.
