CVE-2026-56718: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in AJCloud AJY IPC Firmware
Description
AJCloud AJY IPC firmware prior to version 01.10715.11.37 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the jdbhttpd web service that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files with root privileges by supplying path traversal sequences in the HTTP request URI. Attackers can send crafted HTTP requests to port 80 without authentication to access sensitive files including cleartext RTSP credentials, Wi-Fi SSID and pre-shared key, device serial number, and cloud binding parameters.

Technical Analysis
The vulnerability CVE-2026-56718 affects AJCloud AJY IPC firmware before version 01.10715.11.37. It is a path traversal issue in the jdbhttpd web service that permits unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files with root privileges by including path traversal sequences in the HTTP request URI. Exploitation requires no authentication and targets port 80. The exposed files can contain sensitive device and network information, such as RTSP credentials and Wi-Fi keys.
Potential Impact
An attacker can remotely access sensitive files on the device without authentication, potentially compromising device credentials, network access information, and cloud binding parameters. This could lead to unauthorized access to the device and associated networks or services. The vulnerability has a high severity CVSS score of 8.7, indicating significant risk.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround is currently documented. Until a patch is available, restrict network access to port 80 on affected devices to trusted sources to reduce exposure.
