Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Linksys MR9600, Linksys MX4200 allows that contents of a USB drive partition can be mounted in an arbitrary location of the file system. This may result in the execution of shell scripts in the context of a root user.This issue affects MR9600: 1.0.4.205530; MX4200: 1.0.13.210200.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.6, with relatively low complexity though user interaction is required and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 4 products from linksys, from linksys, from linksys and 1 other, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2026, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.
