HomeSeer is a home automation application which enables users to control various housewares and appliances locally or remotely via a web interface. It is possible for a remote user to gain access to any known file outside of the HomeSeer directory on the root directory by sending a specially crafted HTTP request comprised of '../' and the known filename. This could lead to a complete compromise of the host.

Mitigation:

Restrict access to the HomeSeer directory and ensure that all files outside of the HomeSeer directory are not accessible.
