CVE-2009-1559
Absolute path traversal vulnerability in adm/file.cgi on the Cisco Linksys WVC54GCA wireless video camera with firmware 1.00R24 and possibly 1.00R22 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via an absolute pathname in the this_file parameter.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.53%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
