CVE-2012-10024
XBMC version 11.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in its embedded HTTP server.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.88%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
XBMC version 11.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in its embedded HTTP server. When accessed via HTTP Basic Authentication, the server fails to properly sanitize URI input, allowing authenticated users to request files outside the intended document root. An attacker can exploit this flaw to read arbitrary files from the host filesystem, including sensitive configuration or credential files.
