Descriptions

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in ICONICS/Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS64 versions 10.96 to 10.97.2 allows an unauthenticated attacker to create, tamper with or destroy arbitrary files by getting a legitimate user import a project package file crafted by the attacker.

Vulnerabilidad de limitación inadecuada de un nombre de ruta a un directorio restringido ("Path Traversal") en ICONICS/Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS64 versiones 10.96 a 10.97.2 permite a un atacante no autenticado crear, manipular o destruir archivos arbitrarios haciendo que un usuario legítimo importe un paquete de proyecto archivo creado por el atacante.

The vulnerablity allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of ICONICS GENESIS64. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PKGX files. When parsing the Name element, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
