CVE-2023-31477: Path Traversal

First published: Thu May 11 2023(Updated: )

A path traversal issue was discovered on GL.iNet devices before 3.216. Through the file sharing feature, it is possible to share an arbitrary directory, such as /tmp or /etc, because there is no server-side restriction to limit sharing to the USB path.
