Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Path Traversal in Mitel MiCollab AWV. π **Consequences**: Attackers can bypass access controls to read **arbitrary files** from restricted server directories via crafted URLs.β¦
π‘οΈ **Root Cause**: Insufficient access validation. π **Flaw**: The web conference component fails to properly sanitize user input in URLs, allowing directory traversal sequences (`../`) to escape intended paths.β¦
π **Check**: Send crafted URL with `../` sequences to the web conference endpoint. π‘ **Scan**: Use Nuclei template `CVE-2020-11798.yaml`. π **Result**: Look for file content in response instead of 404/403.β¦
π§ **Fix**: Yes. π₯ **Patch**: Upgrade to **MiCollab AWV 8.1.2.4** or **9.1.3** (or later). π’ **Advisory**: Mitel Security Advisory 20-0005. π **Action**: Immediate update recommended for all affected instances.
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
π§ **Workaround**: If patching is delayed, restrict network access to the web conference component. π **Firewall**: Block external access to the vulnerable port/URL.β¦
π΄ **Priority**: **HIGH**. π¨ **Urgency**: Critical data leakage risk. β³ **Time**: Vulnerable since 2020, still unpatched in many legacy systems. π’ **Action**: Patch immediately.β¦
