Summary
Kiloview E3 Firmware from 0 before 1.30 does not properly validate the time zone parameter, which is a path traversal flaw (CWE-22). An authenticated user can point /etc/localtime to a file outside the intended zoneinfo directory. A network attacker with low privileges can gain high confidentiality impact without user interaction.
