Synopsis

Zyxel < 5.38 Directory Traversal

Description

According to its banner, the version of Zyxel running on the remote host is < 5.38. It is, therefore, affected by a Directory Traversal that could allow an attacker to download or upload files via a crafted URL.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Zyxel version 5.38 or later.
