What is CVE-2023-53962?

The SOUND4 IMPACT, FIRST, PULSE, and Eco products versions 2.x exhibit a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to exploit unauthenticated directory traversal. By manipulating the 'upgfile' parameter within the upload.cgi file, such attacks can enable file writing to unintended directories on the system. Attackers can achieve this by sending specially crafted multipart form-data POST requests that include directory traversal sequences, potentially compromising system integrity and security.

Affected Version(s)

BigVoice2 1.30

BigVoice4 1.2

Impact/Pulse Eco 1.16

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
