CVE-2000-0144
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAxis 700 Network Scanner does not properly restrict access to administrator URLs, which allows users to bypass the password protection via a .. (dot dot) attack.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Axis 700 Network Scanner fails to properly sanitize path inputs in administrator URLs, allowing remote attackers to bypass authentication through directory traversal (..) sequences to access protected administrative functions without valid credentials.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Axis 700 is accessible on the networkScan network for devices responding on common HTTP ports (80, 8080) and check for Axis 700 Network Scanner/Document Server in service banners or web interface titleAffected if Axis 700 Network Scanner or Document Server is found responding on the network
-
Determine the installed versionAccess the device web interface and navigate to the About or System Information page, or query the HTTP server banner for version informationAffected if The version is 1.0, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13, or 1.14
-
Verify administrative interface is exposedAttempt to access the administrative URL paths such as /admin/, /scanner/admin/, or / administrator endpoints without authenticationAffected if Administrative interface or authentication prompts are reachable without credentials
-
Test for directory traversal vulnerabilitySend HTTP GET requests to administrative URLs containing ../ sequences (e.g., /admin/../../etc/passwd or similar path manipulation) and observe if the response differs from expected access denied messagesAffected if Directory traversal sequences return content that should require authentication or reveal file contents outside the web root
A system is affected if an Axis 700 Network Scanner/Document Server versions 1.0-1.14 is running with its administrative interface accessible and responds to directory traversal sequences by bypassing authentication controls.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper input validation and path sanitization for all URL parameters to reject directory traversal sequences. If vendor patches are unavailable, restrict administrative interface access to trusted networks via firewall rules or VPN.
