Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who can exploit this issue?

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit it, so exposure depends on whether the affected upload endpoint is reachable over the network.

2

What request component is used to escape the intended upload directory?

The path traversal is performed through the directory parameter in POST /app-api/infra/file/upload. An attacker can use it to write uploaded files outside the intended storage directory.

3

What can be done if updating is not immediately possible?

The provided data does not identify a fix or workaround. Restricting unauthenticated network access to the affected upload endpoint would reduce exposure, but this is not stated as a vendor-provided mitigation.
