A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Cisco WVC54GCA 1.00r22/1.00r24. Affected is an unknown part of the component Firmware. The manipulation of the argument next_file with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Directory traversal vulnerability in adm/file.cgi on the Cisco Linksys WVC54GCA wireless video camera with firmware 1.00R22 and 1.00R24 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a %2e. (encoded dot dot) or an absolute pathname in the next_file parameter.

The weakness was disclosed 05/06/2009 by pagvac (Website). The advisory is shared for download at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2009-1558 since 05/06/2009. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $0-$5k (estimation calculated on 11/07/2018). The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1006.
