CVE-2021-36356 EXPLOIT
9.8
CRITICAL · CVSS 3.1 · EPSS 54.4% (pctl 99)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
KRAMER VIAware through August 2021 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code because ajaxPages/writeBrowseFilePathAjax.php accepts arbitrary executable pathnames (even though browseSystemFiles.php is no longer reachable via the GUI). NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-17124.
