CVE-2017-9136 is a critical vulnerability affecting Mimosa Client Radios before version 2.2.3, specifically within their web interface. An unsanitized GET parameter allows an unauthenticated attacker to download any file from the device's filesystem as the root user. This high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) has a low attack complexity and requires no user interaction, enabling attackers to steal unsalted MD5-hashed administrator passwords, plaintext wireless pre-shared keys, and device serial numbers. While there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, the potential for full administrative access and compromise of wireless security makes this a significant risk.
