Descriptions

Advantech R-SeeNet
versions 2.4.22
allows low-level users to access and load the content of local files.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Advantech R-SeeNet. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the device_status page. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data prior to passing it to a PHP include function. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges to resources normally protected from the user.

*Credits: Esjay, working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative, reported these vulnerabilities to CISA.
