Summary
An Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read vulnerability affects the Agent when installed on a system. The parameter filename does not validate the path thus allowing users to read arbitrary files. As the application runs with the highest privileges (root/NT_AUTHORITY SYSTEM) by default attackers are able to obtain sensitive information. This issue affects Avid NEXIS E-series: before 2025.5.1; Avid NEXIS F-series: before 2025.5.1; Avid NEXIS PRO+: before 2025.5.1; System Director Appliance (SDA+): before 2025.5.1.
