Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Profisee on Windows (filesystem modules) allows Path Traversal after authentication to the Profisee system.This issue affects Profisee: from 2020R1 before 2024R2.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated path traversal in Profisee on Windows allows attackers with high privileges to read sensitive files outside intended directories. The vulnerability affects filesystem modules in Profisee versions 2020R1 through 2024R1, with a patch available in 2024R2. EPSS score is low (0.08%), and no active exploitation or public exploit has been reported.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is an improper input validation (CWE-20) in Profisee's filesystem modules, leading to path traversal. Profisee is a master data management platform running on Windows. The CVSS vector indicates a network attack with high complexity, requiring high privileges and user interaction. The path traversal allows reading files outside the intended directory, potentially exposing sensitive configuration or data files.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to Profisee 2024R2 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch. No workarounds are documented; as a compensating control, restrict network access to the Profisee application to trusted users and monitor for unusual file access patterns. The vendor advisory is at https://profisee.com/security/vulnerabilities/detail/.
