The ugw-delete-file method allows a remote attacker with user privileges to delete arbitrary local files due to insufficient validation of user-controlled input.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file deletion in MBS Universal Gateway (UGW) product family allows authenticated remote attackers to remove any file on the device filesystem by abusing the ugw-delete-file method, which fails to validate user-controlled path input (CWE-73). With CVSS 4.0 score 7.2 and PR:L, exploitation requires only a low-privileged account, and successful abuse impacts integrity and availability of the gateway (VI:H/VA:H). No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
MBS GmbH manufactures protocol-converter gateways used in building automation and industrial networks - the affected line covers Single-A, Double-A Profibus, Double-A X-Link, Single-X, and Double-X variants for CAN, DALI, KNX, LON, M-Bus and Profinet field buses. The ugw-delete-file method is an administrative/maintenance routine exposed by the gateway's management interface (UGW = Universal Gateway). CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path) is the root cause: the handler accepts a file path from the request and passes it to a filesystem delete operation without canonicalising it, restricting it to a safe directory, or rejecting traversal sequences, so any reachable path on the device can be supplied.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched firmware version was supplied in the available data; consult VDE advisory VDE-2026-039 at https://www.certvde.com/en/advisories/VDE-2026-039/ for the authoritative fixed firmware versions per MBS gateway model and upgrade affected Single-A, Double-A, Single-X and Double-X devices accordingly. Until a fix can be deployed, compensating controls should focus on the precondition PR:L: revoke or rotate credentials for any non-essential UGW user accounts, restrict the gateway management interface to a dedicated engineering VLAN or jump host via firewall rules, and disable remote/internet exposure of the gateway entirely - the trade-off is that legitimate remote maintenance workflows will break and on-site or VPN access will be required. Add monitoring/alerting on the gateway's filesystem and on use of the ugw-delete-file endpoint so that any abuse from a compromised low-privilege account is detected quickly.
