CWE-20Published: December 31, 2003· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
Official Description
Absolute path traversal vulnerability in Alt-N Technologies WebAdmin 2.0.0 through 2.0.2 allows remote attackers with administrator privileges to (1) determine the installation path by reading the contents of the Name parameter in a link, and (2) read arbitrary files via an absolute path in the Name parameter.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2003-1463 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2003-1463. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
