Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-23: Relative Path Traversal, where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize sequences such as ".." that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. In Billz/raspap webgui, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

RaspAP raspap-webgui 3.3.1 is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in ajax/networking/get_wgkey.php. An authenticated attacker can send a crafted POST request with a path traversal payload in the `entity` parameter to overwrite arbitrary files writable by the web server via abuse of the `tee` command used in shell execution.
