Description
VideoFlow Digital Video Protection DVP 2.10 contains an authenticated directory traversal vulnerability that allows attackers with valid credentials to disclose arbitrary files by injecting path traversal sequences in the ID parameter. Attackers can submit requests to downloadsys.pl, download_xml.pl, download.pl, downloadmib.pl, or downloadFile.pl with directory traversal payloads to read sensitive system files like /etc/passwd.

Impact

VideoFlow Digital Video Protection DVP 2.10 contains an authenticated directory traversal vulnerability that lets attackers in possession of valid credentials inject path traversal sequences into an ID parameter used by several download scripts. This flaw permits reading arbitrary files on the server, including sensitive files such as /etc/passwd. As a result, information that should remain confidential—system configuration and user credentials—may be disclosed. The weakness is identified as CWE‑22.

Affected Systems

The affected product is VideoFlow Digital Video Protection DVP 2.10 from VideoFlow Ltd. No other versions are explicitly listed as vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high severity vulnerability that requires authentication on the target system. The EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low probability that the vulnerability is being exploited in the wild, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is via an authenticated user submitting crafted download requests; the attacker needs valid credentials and can then acquire arbitrary files which may contain credentials or system configuration data.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Contact VideoFlow to obtain and apply an official patch or product update
  • Restrict the permissions of authenticated users so that they cannot access the vulnerable download scripts
  • Add input validation or sanitize the ID parameter to prevent path traversal before it is processed by the scripts
