Unraid < 7.2.4 Multiple Vulnerabilities (ZDI-26-171 / ZDI-26-172)

high Nessus Plugin ID 303451

Synopsis

The remote host is running an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running a version of Unraid prior to 7.2.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A path traversal vulnerability exists in the update.php file due to the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code in the context of root. (CVE-2026-3838)

 - A path traversal vulnerability exists in the auth-request.php file due to the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in authentications. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication on the system. (CVE-2026-3839)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Unraid version 7.2.4 or later.
