Summary

The SimpleHelp Remote Support Software version 5.5.7 and earlier is susceptible to multiple path traversal vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities allow unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit the system by crafting specific HTTP requests. Through this exploitation, attackers can download arbitrary files from the host server, potentially exposing sensitive data such as server configuration files, secrets, and hashed user passwords. This vulnerability highlights the critical need for timely updates and robust security measures to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
