CVE-2024-41713
Description
A vulnerability in the NuPoint Unified Messaging (NPM) component of Mitel MiCollab through 9.8 SP1 FP2 (9.8.1.201) could allow an unauthenticated attacker to conduct a path traversal attack, due to insufficient input validation. A successful exploit could allow unauthorized access, enabling the attacker to view, corrupt, or delete users' data and system configurations.
Summary dbcve.org
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the NuPoint Unified Messaging (NPM) component of Mitel MiCollab through version 9.8.1.201. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit insufficient input validation by using directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../) in HTTP requests to access, view, corrupt, or delete sensitive files and system configurations outside the intended web root directory.
Mitigation
Apply vendor-supplied patches when available; implement strict input validation and path sanitization on all file-handling endpoints; consider deploying a WAF to block traversal sequences as an interim control.
