Description
In Netgate pfSense CE 2.8.0, the "WebCfg - Diagnostics: Command" privilege allows reading arbitrary files via diag_command.php dlPath directory traversal. NOTE: the Supplier's perspective is that this is intended behavior for this privilege level, and that system administrators are informed through both the product documentation and UI.
