CVE-2017-7577 is an unauthenticated directory traversal vulnerability in XiongMai uc-httpd, the HTTP server used on Xiongmai DVR/NVR/IP camera devices and derivatives. The issue allows an attacker to request paths containing traversal sequences such as a "GET ../" HTTP request and read files outside the intended web root. The provided content specifically states that arbitrary files can be read and that credential disclosure is a common consequence, indicating the flaw can be used to access sensitive configuration and credential-bearing files on the device.
