CVE-2023-28461Array Networks gateways — header attribute skips authentication

The affected gateway firmware (Array Networks AG, vxAG) at 9.4.0.481 and earlier lets an unauthenticated request carrying a flags attribute in a header browse the filesystem, and from there reach code execution.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Apply the Array Networks advisory fix now; ransomware crews use this, so treat an exposed gateway as compromised and rotate its credentials.
