CVE-2022-23971

ASUS RT-AX56U’s update_PLC/PORT file has a path traversal vulnerability due to insufficient filtering for special characters in the URL parameter. An unauthenticated LAN attacker can overwrite a system file by uploading another PLC/PORT file with the same file name, which results in service disruption.
