Vulnerability Type:
==============================================
Improper Access Control File Overwrite / Upload



CVE Reference:
==============
CVE-2017-7237



Security Issue:
================
The Spiceworks TFTP Server, as distributed with Spiceworks Inventory 7.5, allows remote attackers to access the 
Spiceworks "data\configurations"
directory by leveraging the unauthenticated nature of the TFTP service for all clients who can reach UDP port 69. This 
allows remote attackers to
overwrite files within the Spiceworks configurations directory, if the targeted file name is known or guessed.

Remote attackers who can reach UDP port 69 can also write/upload arbitrary files to the "data\configurations", this can 
potentially become a
Remote Code Execution vulnerability if for example an executable file e.g. EXE, BAT is dropped, then later accessed and 
run by an unknowing
Spiceworks user.
