Directory traversal vulnerability in EMC Avamar Server 7.x before 7.1.2 and Avamar Virtual Addition (AVE) 7.x before 7.1.2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by using the Avamar Desktop/Laptop client interface to send crafted parameters.

Security readout for executives and security teams

EMC Avamar backup infrastructure could expose arbitrary server files to a remote attacker through the Desktop/Laptop client interface. Because backup systems often hold sensitive operational data, credentials, and recovery material, unauthorized file reads can create meaningful business risk even without evidence of full system takeover. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running affected EMC Avamar Server or AVE 7.x versions before 7.1.2, especially where the Desktop/Laptop client interface is reachable from user, partner, or untrusted networks. Treat as high priority for legacy Avamar environments because backup systems concentrate sensitive recovery data. If affected versions remain in service, prioritize upgrade or isolation, with immediate focus on externally reachable or broadly reachable client interfaces. Mitigation focus: Upgrade EMC Avamar Server and AVE to 7.1.2 or later.; Review EMC advisory ESA-2015-118 for vendor-specific remediation guidance.; Restrict access to the Desktop/Laptop client interface to trusted networks..
