    A path traversal vulnerability in the iclock API of ZKTeco BioTime v8.5.5 allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files via supplying a crafted payload.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can read arbitrary files from the server through path traversal in the iclock API url parameter, potentially exposing employee biometric data, attendance records, and system credentials.
