CVE-2025-6801: (0Day) Marvell QConvergeConsole saveNICParamsToFile Directory Traversal Arbitrary File Write Vulnerability
Marvell QConvergeConsole saveNICParamsToFile Directory Traversal Arbitrary File Write Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files on affected installations of Marvell QConvergeConsole. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the saveNICParamsToFile method. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to write files in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-24921.
