Mikrotik Backup Patched ~repack~ -

The in recent versions closes the specific loophole that allowed script injection, but it does not encrypt your backups by default.

Security researchers discovered that older versions of RouterOS suffered from vulnerabilities where unauthenticated or low-privilege attackers could manipulate the backup and restore process. By exploiting path traversal flaws or memory corruption bugs during a backup file upload, attackers could write arbitrary files to the RouterOS filesystem. The in recent versions closes the specific loophole

The exploit relies on standard directory traversal techniques to bypass the restricted shell environment. When a standard backup is initiated, RouterOS packs configuration parameters into a binary file. A malicious user with administrative access could download this file, modify its internal structure using a specialized hex or script editor, and append a payload containing specific directory paths (such as ../../../nova/etc/devel-login/ ).
