CVE-2026-1523
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 · uneditedPath Traversal vulnerability in Digitek ADT1100 and Digitek DT950 from PRIMION DIGITEK, S.L.U (Azkoyen Group). This vulnerability allows an attacker to access arbitrary files in the server's file system, thet is, 'http://<host>/..%2F..% 2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fetc%2Fpasswd'. By manipulating the input to include URL encoded directory traversal sequences (e.g., %2F representing /), an attacker can bypass the input validation mechanisms ans retrieve sensitive files outside the intended directory, which could lead to information disclosure or further system compromise.
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 · high confidencePath traversal vulnerability in Digitek ADT1100 and DT950 web interfaces allows attackers to bypass input validation using URL-encoded directory traversal sequences (%2F). The example demonstrates accessing /etc/passwd via multiple ../ sequences encoded as %2F, enabling unauthenticated retrieval of sensitive files outside the intended web root directory.

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 the device modelCheck the physical device label, web interface login page, or system information page for the exact model number (ADT1100 or DT950)Affected if The device is a Digitek ADT1100 or DT950 model
-
Locate the firmware versionAccess the device web interface settings or about page to find the installed firmware version, or check device documentation/system logsAffected if The firmware version cannot be determined or is from an unpatched release
-
Confirm web file access feature is enabledCheck device configuration settings for web file serving, remote access, or file browser features - look for options like 'Enable Web Access', 'File Browser', or 'Remote File View'Affected if Web-based file access or file browsing functionality is enabled on the device
-
Check network exposure of web interfaceReview network configuration to determine if the device web interface is accessible from untrusted networks or directly via internetAffected if The web interface is exposed to untrusted networks without firewall protection
-
Verify input validation configurationIf accessible, check device security settings for any input validation or path sanitization options; review any available audit logs for suspicious traversal patternsAffected if No input validation controls are visible or traversal attempts appear in logs
The environment is affected if it contains a Digitek ADT1100 or DT950 device with web file access enabled and the firmware lacks the path traversal fix.

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 strict input validation to reject path traversal sequences (both encoded and plain), apply a WAF rule to block directory traversal attempts, and check for vendor firmware updates to patch this vulnerability.
