MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires authenticated access with high privileges (PR:H per CVSS 4.0 vector) specifically to the data export and upload functionality within MCO. The filename parameter within these features must be controllable by the attacker - no special non-default configuration is needed beyond having access to these built-in features. The path disclosure component requires only that the attacker can trigger error conditions via the same filename parameter. Limiting factors: exploitation is constrained to users who already hold high-privilege roles within the MCO application, ruling out unauthenticated remote attackers and low-privilege account holders. Network access to the MCO instance is required (AV:N). No user interaction from a third party is needed once the attacker is authenticated. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.1 reflects a medium-severity finding with a network attack vector (AV:N) but a high privilege requirement (PR:H), which is the dominant risk-limiting factor. The impact metrics in the provided vector assign no direct impact on the vulnerable system (VC:N/VI:N/VA:N) and low subsequent-system impact (SC:L/SI:L), meaning the scoring authority judged that the web application layer itself is unharmed and the risk surfaces in the broader server environment through unauthorized file writes. No EPSS score was provided in source data; no CISA KEV listing exists; and no public proof-of-concept has been identified. The real-world risk is therefore moderate-to-low: exploitation requires a threat actor to already hold high-privilege credentials within MCO, significantly reducing the attack surface to insider threat, compromised admin accounts, or scenarios where privilege escalation preceded this step. The path disclosure sub-component adds reconnaissance value for chained attacks but does not itself enable direct system compromise. A key uncertainty is the version scope - CERT-PL confirmed only 25.3.3.1, and the full affected range is unknown due to vendor non-response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with high-privilege access to MCO - such as a malicious insider or an actor who has separately compromised an administrator credential - navigates to the data export or upload functionality and submits a crafted filename parameter containing directory traversal sequences. The server writes the submitted file to an arbitrary location on the filesystem (e.g., a web-accessible directory or a configuration path), potentially enabling secondary impacts such as configuration tampering or web shell placement. Additionally, triggering validation errors with crafted inputs causes the server to return absolute filesystem paths in error responses, aiding reconnaissance for further exploitation. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 01, 2026
Path traversal and path disclosure in MyComplianceOffice MCO's file handling functionality expose authenticated high-privilege users' ability to write files to arbitrary server locations and leak absolute server paths through error messages. Confirmed in version 25.3.3.1 via CERT-PL research, with other versions potentially affected given unsuccessful vendor contact. No public exploit code or active exploitation identified at time of analysis; the high privilege prerequisite (PR:H) substantially constrains real-world attack surface.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; vendor contact attempts by CERT-PL were unsuccessful. Organizations running MCO should apply the following compensating controls until a patch is available: restrict access to the data export and upload features to the minimum required set of privileged accounts, reducing exposure to the PR:H exploitation path; implement a web application firewall rule to detect and block filename parameters containing path traversal sequences such as '../', '%2e%2e', or absolute path prefixes; enable server-side logging and alerting on file write operations outside expected application directories to detect exploitation attempts; and suppress verbose error messages to external users to eliminate the path disclosure vector. Each control carries trade-offs - WAF rules may block legitimate filenames with dots; suppressing errors may hinder debugging.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory) underlies both weaknesses reported here. The file handling subsystem associated with data export and upload operations fails to properly sanitize or canonicalize the filename parameter before using it in filesystem operations, allowing directory traversal sequences (e.g., '../../') to escape the intended target directory. A secondary weakness - path disclosure - arises from server error messages that reflect unsanitized input back to the caller, inadvertently revealing absolute filesystem paths. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:mycomplianceoffice:mco:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, indicating MyComplianceOffice's MCO compliance management platform. Because vendor contact was unsuccessful, the exact internal framework or file-handling library responsible has not been publicly confirmed.

DescriptionCVE.org
MCO is vulnerable to Path Disclosure and Path Traversal in file handling functionality related to data export and upload. Improper validation of the filename parameter allows writing files to arbitrary locations as well as indirect disclosure of absolute server paths through error messages.
Because vendor contact attempts were unsuccessful, the vulnerability has only been confirmed in version 25.3.3.1 but may also affect other versions.
