Descriptions

Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in cgi component in Synology Router Manager (SRM) before 1.3.1-9346-6 allows remote attackers to read specific files via unspecified vectors.

This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Synology RT6600ax routers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the uistrings.cgi file. 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 vulnerability to disclose information in the context of the current process.
