Description
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.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw in MyComplianceOffice MCO allows attackers to craft a filename that bypasses the application’s directory resolution logic, writing files to arbitrary locations on the server. In addition, the error messages returned when the filename is rejected expose absolute server paths, satisfying an information‑exposure weakness. Together the mechanics satisfy CWE‑22 and CWE‑209 and enable non‑privileged file creation or modification as well as leakage of sensitive path information.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 25.3.3.1 of MCO. Based on the lack of an official fix or vendor response, it is inferred that other releases may also contain the same issue.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 classifies the issue as moderate. The EPSS score of less than 1 % means current exploitation activity is very low, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attack is likely to be carried out by manipulating the file export or upload endpoints that accept a filename parameter, allowing a malicious user to induce the application to write a file anywhere on the server or disclose paths through generated error messages.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check for an updated MCO version that includes a fix for the filename validation flaw and upgrade when available
  • Enforce strict input validation for the filename parameter, rejecting directory traversal sequences and disallowed characters to mitigate the path traversal weakness (CWE‑22)
  • Configure the application error messages, returning generic errors to users to prevent information disclosure (CWE‑209)
