CVE-2014-125125

A path traversal vulnerability exists in A10 Networks AX Loadbalancer versions 2.6.1-GR1-P5, 2.7.0, and earlier. The vulnerability resides in the handling of the filename parameter in the /xml/downloads endpoint, which fails to properly sanitize user input. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw by sending crafted HTTP requests containing directory traversal sequences to read arbitrary files outside the intended directory. The files returned by the vulnerable endpoint are deleted from the system after retrieval. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information such as SSL certificates and private keys, as well as unintended file deletion.

Summary		(es) Existe una vulnerabilidad de path traversal en las versiones 2.6.1-GR1-P5, 2.7.0 y anteriores de A10 Networks AX Loadbalancer. La vulnerabilidad reside en la gestión del parámetro filename en el endpoint /xml/downloads, que no depura correctamente la entrada del usuario. Un atacante no autenticado puede explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando solicitudes HTTP manipuladas que contienen secuencias de directory traversal para leer archivos arbitrarios fuera del directorio de destino. Los archivos devueltos por el endpoint vulnerable se eliminan del sistema tras su recuperación. Esto puede provocar la divulgación no autorizada de información confidencial, como certificados SSL y claves privadas, así como la eliminación involuntaria de archivos.
