Description
Nozomi Networks Labs identified a CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in the file management functionality of the XML-RPC management interface of KUNBUS RevPiPyLoad in version 0.11.0 that allows a local unauthenticated attacker to delete arbitrary files with the privileges of the RevPiPyLoad daemon, resulting in loss of configuration integrity and denial of service, by sending crafted requests to the local management service.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw exists in the XML‑RPC file management functionality of KUNBUS RevPiPyLoad. An attacker with local, unauthenticated access can craft malicious XML‑RPC requests that cause the daemon to resolve file paths outside the intended directory. This allows arbitrary file deletion with the daemon’s privileges, compromising device configuration and potentially bringing the service offline.

Affected Systems

KUNBUS RevPiPyLoad version 0.11.0 is affected. The vulnerability is specific to the file management commands exposed by the XML‑RPC management interface. Devices running earlier or later releases that have not adopted the patch are not vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a medium‑to‑high risk severity. No EPSS score is currently available, and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting limited public exploitation data. However, the attack requires only local access and no authentication, meaning an insider or an attacker who has compromised the host can easily delete critical files and disrupt service. The path traversal weakness (CWE‑22) reduces the overall mitigation options, and organizations should treat this as an urgent issue if the affected version is in use.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a fixed version of RevPiPyLoad as soon as it is released by KUNBUS.
  • Restrict network exposure of the XML‑RPC management interface to trusted administrators, for example by binding it to localhost or a secured internal subnet.
  • If the XML‑RPC service is not required, disable it entirely or limit the daemon’s file‑system permissions so that it cannot delete critical configuration files.
