CVE-2014-4690

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in pfSense before 2.1.4 allow (1) remote attackers to read arbitrary .info files via a crafted path in the pkg parameter to pkg_mgr_install.php and allow (2) remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via the downloadbackup parameter to system_firmware_restorefullbackup.php.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
