**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** WebSCADA WS100 and WS200 versions (affected versions not specified) Easy Connect EC150 versions (affected versions not specified) Modbus RTU - TCP Gateway MB100 versions (affected versions not specified) Serial Ethernet Server SS100 versions (affected versions not specified) IntelliCom NetBiter NB100 and NB200 platforms versions (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue allows remote authenticated administrators to read arbitrary files via a full pathname in the `file` parameter. This is a result of an absolute path traversal vulnerability in `cgi-bin/read.cgi`. **Recommendations** For WebSCADA WS100 and WS200, restrict access to the `cgi-bin/read.cgi` endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. For Easy Connect EC150, avoid using the `file` parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. For Modbus RTU - TCP Gateway MB100, consider disabling the `read.cgi` function until a patch is available. For Serial Ethernet Server SS100, restrict access to the vulnerable `cgi-bin` module to minimize the risk of exploitation. For IntelliCom NetBiter NB100 and NB200 platforms, as a temporary workaround, consider limiting the privileges of authenticated administrators to reduce the impact of the issue. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
