Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.47%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The diagnostics web interface in the Yeahlink Ultra-elegant IP Phone SIP-T41P (firmware 66.83.0.35) does not validate (escape) the path information (path traversal), which allows an authenticated remote attacker to get access to privileged information (e.g., /etc/passwd) via path traversal (relative path information in the file parameter of the corresponding POST request).
