Description:Summary:
Twonky Server is prone to a vulnerability which permits attackers with access to the local network
in which Twonky Server runs, to write arbitrary files on the host running the Twonky Server. It can be used to replace existing or
create new files on the file system, as accessible by the user under which user ID Twonky Server runs (which can be root).

Vulnerability Impact:
As this vulnerability can be used to overwrite and replace arbitrary files, this vulnerability can
be used to gain control of the target system by overwriting system files or can create a denial of service attack by overwriting system
critical files.

Affected Software/OS:
All systems running Twonky Server versions 7.0.x, 8.0 and 8.1 with enabled NMC web API or web API.

Solution:
Update your Twonky Server to a not vulnerable version 7.2.11/8.1.2

Mitigation:

Add the following configuration options to the Twonky Server configuration file:
enablenmcwebapi=0
enableweb=0

This will block access to the incriminated function.
NOTE: Setting 'enableweb' to '0' will completely disable HTTP web access to Twonky Server!
