CVE-2014-2846 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in the WD Arkeia virtual appliance (AVA) with firmware versions prior to 10.2.9. This flaw allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and execute PHP code by manipulating the 'lang' cookie parameter with a "..././" sequence during a login request. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating high severity, with a low attack complexity and no authentication required, potentially leading to compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Its FAUCET Risk Score of 91/100 further emphasizes its critical nature. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-33005) confirms the existence of public exploit code for local file inclusion. Despite this, the CVE has garnered minimal community discussion and media coverage.
