Description Preview
A vulnerability in Marvell QConvergeConsole 5.5.0.64 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to disclose sensitive information including stored credentials. The vulnerability exists in the getFileUploadBytes method of the FlashValidatorServiceImpl class, which fails to properly validate user-supplied paths before using them in file operations. This path traversal issue enables attackers to access sensitive files outside the intended directory, potentially leading to further system compromise.
