An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the embedded HTTP server of Panabit PAP-XM320 up to and including v7.7. The server validates session cookies using a filesystem existence check based on a user-controlled cookie value without proper sanitization, allowing directory traversal and bypass of authentication.
The CVSS severity warrants an early asset and exposure review.
