Directory traversal vulnerability in the Chorus2 2.4.2 add-on for Kodi allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a %2E%2E%252e (encoded dot dot slash) in the image path, as demonstrated by image/image%3A%2F%2F%2e%2e%252fetc%252fpasswd.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Kodi media player server running on the remote host is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability in the Chorus web interface due to improper validation of user-supplied input to the /image/ script, specifically when path traversal is employed (e.g., %2F) in the URL. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via a specially crafted URL, to cause the inclusion of local files, resulting in the disclosure of arbitrary files.
