Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is classified as Path Traversal (CWE-22), which allows attackers to access files and directories outside the intended path. A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 3). The affected application does not properly sanitize user provided paths for SFTP-based file up- and downloads. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to manipulate arbitrary files on the filesystem and achieve arbitrary code execution on the device. Affected products include: Siemens Sinec Ins.

Priority Score
Attack Technique
Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
