Description
A high-privileged remote attacker can upload malicious ZIP archive containing directory traversal sequences such as ../ can escape the intended extraction directory and write files to arbitrary locations on the server, potentially achieve arbitrary code execution due to improper validation of archive entry paths before writing files to disk which could result in full system compromise.

AI Analysis

Impact

An attacker who can reach the web interface of the FDS 102 device can upload a specially crafted ZIP archive that contains directory traversal sequences. The device extracts the archive without properly validating the paths of the individual entries, allowing the attacker to place files outside the intended directory. Because of this flaw the attacker could write executable code or modify critical configuration files, which may lead to complete compromise of the system, loss of confidentiality, integrity and availability.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Frauscher Sensortechnik FDS 102 product. No specific firmware or hardware revision is listed; therefore all deployed FDS 102 devices using the bundled software that allows ZIP uploads are potentially susceptible. The CVE only identifies the vendor and product, with no version restrictions available.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.6 indicates a high severity. The EPSS score is below 1 %, suggesting that mass exploitation is unlikely but the risk remains non‑zero, especially in environments where the device is exposed to untrusted networks. Since the flaw permits remote path traversal that can lead to arbitrary code execution, an attacker with network visibility to the device can exploit it with minimal prerequisites. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but its high severity and the critical nature of its impact warrant immediate attention.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply any vendor‑supplied patch or upgrade the FDS 102 firmware to a version that validates ZIP entry paths before extraction.
  • If a patch is unavailable, disable the ZIP upload feature or restrict the upload interface to trusted users only.
  • Implement input validation that rejects ZIP entries containing directory traversal characters such as "../" before they are processed.
