CVE-2026-62947 | BDVDB-2026-348793 Detail

openwrtopenwrt

Description#

OpenWrt is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Prior to 25.12.5, the cgi-download handler in cgi-io authorizes the requested path against the caller's ubus session file ACL before canonicalization, and rpcd session.c uses fnmatch() without FNM_PATHNAME, allowing traversal such as an allowed wildcard prefix followed by ../ to read root-readable files including /etc/shadow. This vulnerability is fixed in 25.12.5.

Impact#

Per CVSS v3.1: confidentiality impact high, integrity impact none, availability impact none. Attack vector: network.

Weaknesses#
