CVE-2026-85199 (GCVE-0-2026-85199)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-09-03 14:11 – Updated: 2026-09-03 14:25
VLAI
Summary
Eclipse aeriOS Self-orchestrator versions prior to 1.2.1 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the REST API. User-controlled identifiers used to create, update, or delete Self-orchestrator resources were incorporated into filesystem paths without adequate validation or sanitization. An unauthenticated remote attacker able to access the Self-orchestrator API could therefore supply specially crafted identifiers containing path traversal sequences to write or delete JSON files outside the intended application directories, subject to the filesystem permissions of the Self-orchestrator process. The impact is increased by the absence of authentication on the affected API and by the container running with elevated privileges in the affected deployment configuration. The issue has been addressed in version 1.2.1 by introducing validation and sanitization of user-controlled identifiers before they are used to construct filesystem paths, preventing path separator characters from being used to escape the intended directories.

Mitigation

Setup generic response pages for error conditions. The error page should not disclose information about the success or failure of a sensitive operation. For instance, the login page should not confirm that the login is correct and the password incorrect. The attacker who tries random account name may be able to guess some of them. Confirming that the account exists would make the login page more susceptible to brute force attack.
