CVE-2021-20124DrayTek VigorConnect — file download endpoint reads any file

VigorConnect 1.6.0-B3 lets an unauthenticated request to its file download endpoint name any path, so an attacker pulls files off the underlying system with the service's own rights.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade VigorConnect past 1.6.0-B3 now; exploit code is public and a second endpoint carries the same flaw, so verify both are covered.
