# DrayTek Vigor2960 router: path traversal in web backup lets remote attackers read files

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-129450 (this .md is for agents)

The DrayTek Vigor2960 router firmware 1.5.1.6 has a path traversal flaw in the doWebBackup function of its web management interface, where the option argument is not sanitized. A remote attacker can use it to reach files outside the intended directory on the router, and a public exploit exists.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the firmware version in the router's web admin interface; the sources name `1.5.1.6` as affected.
- Confirm whether the web management interface is reachable from the internet.

## Fix

- DrayTek Vigor2960: upgrade to `1.5.1.7`, per the sources. The vendor also says a newer release is planned to resolve the reported issues.

## Timeline

- 2026-11-15T12:35:28+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-129450

## From the sources

A vulnerability was detected in DrayTek Vigor2960 1.5.1.6. Affected by this issue is the function sub_1E084 of the file /cgi-bin/mainfunction.cgi?action=doWebBackup. The manipulation of the argument option results in path traversal. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. Upgrading to version 1.5.1.7 can resolve this issue. You should upgrade the affected component. The vendor recommends: "1.5.1.6 isn't the latest version of 2960, the latest version fixes many security issues. And we have another one in our release plan which should solve the issues reported."
