Directory traversal vulnerability in k23productions TFTPUtil GUI 1.2.0 and 1.3.0 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files outside the TFTP root directory via directory traversal sequences in a GET request.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.67%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
