# Exploit Title: Carel pCOWeb HVAC BACnet Gateway 2.1.0 - Directory Traversal
# Exploit Author: LiquidWorm
Vendor: CAREL INDUSTRIES S.p.A.
Product web page: https://www.carel.com
Affected version: Firmware: A2.1.0 - B2.1.0
Application Software: 2.15.4A
Software version: v16 13020200
Summary: pCO sistema is the solution CAREL offers its customers for managing HVAC/R
applications and systems. It consists of programmable controllers, user interfaces,
gateways and communication interfaces, remote management systems to offer the OEMs
working in HVAC/R a control system that is powerful yet flexible, can be easily interfaced
to the more widely-used Building Management Systems, and can also be integrated into
proprietary supervisory systems.
Desc: The device suffers from an unauthenticated arbitrary file disclosure vulnerability.
Input passed through the 'file' GET parameter through the 'logdownload.cgi' Bash script
is not properly verified before being used to download log files. This can be exploited
to disclose the contents of arbitrary and sensitive files via directory traversal attacks.
