DescriptionCVE.org

Improper neutralization of path traversal sequences in TeamViewer Desktop Clients prior Version 15.81.5 allows an authenticated remote session participant to write files to unintended locations on the local file system via file transfer or virtual file clipboard mechanisms. An attacker can leverage this behavior to achieve arbitrary file write and potentially execute code with the privileges of the affected user.

AnalysisAI

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to be an active, accepted participant in an established TeamViewer remote session with the victim - the victim must have accepted or initiated the session, satisfying the UI:R requirement in the CVSS vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.5 score reflects AC:H and UI:R constraints that limit opportunistic mass exploitation: the attacker must be an active participant in a TeamViewer session the victim has accepted. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary remediation is to upgrade all TeamViewer Desktop Client installations to version 15.81.5 or later, as directed by TeamViewer security bulletin TV-2026-1008 (https://www.teamviewer.com/de/resources/trust-center/security-bulletins/tv-2026-1008/). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all TeamViewer deployments across the organization to identify instances of versions 13, 14, and 15 prior to 15.81.5 (Full Client, Host, QuickSupport, and Portable editions). …
