CVE-2020-11491 describes an absolute path traversal vulnerability in Zen Load Balancer version 3.10.1, specifically within the Monitoring::Logs functionality. This flaw allows remote authenticated administrators to read arbitrary system files, such as /etc/shadow, by manipulating the 'filelog' parameter in requests to index.cgi. Rated as MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.9), the attack requires high privileges (PR:H) but has low attack complexity (AC:L) and can lead to high confidentiality impact (C:H) by exposing sensitive data. While not on CISA's KEV catalog, a Metasploit module exists for this vulnerability, indicating readily available exploit code, though there is minimal community discussion or media coverage.
