HIGH 7.1

DescriptionCVE.org

An interface that accepts file uploads from authenticated users extracts the contents of uploaded archives without validating that extracted file paths remain within the intended destination directory. This allows an authenticated attacker to craft an archive whose entries traverse outside the destination directory, causing the extraction process to write files to arbitrary locations with the privileges of that process. This could allow an attacker to inject fabricated records into the system's stored data or tamper with application configuration.

AnalysisAI

Zip-slip path traversal in an industrial control system application allows authenticated low-privileged users to write arbitrary files to any location accessible by the server process. By crafting a malicious archive with directory-traversal sequences (e.g., '../../') in entry paths and uploading it through the platform's file-upload interface, an attacker can overwrite configuration files or inject fabricated records into stored data. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege authenticated session on the ICS application - unauthenticated access is not possible per CVSS PR:L. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 7.1 (VI:H, all other impacts N) accurately reflects the bounded but serious nature of this flaw: an authenticated attacker with low privileges can achieve full integrity compromise of any file writable by the server process. … 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 Retrieve and apply the vendor patch referenced in CISA advisory ICSA-26-254-01 (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cisagov/CSAF/develop/csaf_files/OT/white/2026/icsa-26-254-01.json) - the exact patched version is not independently confirmable from current data and must be sourced from that advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all deployed instances of the affected ICS application and document which systems have active file-upload functionality. …
