Title

Path traversal via unsanitized upload filename leads to arbitrary file write in Progress ShareFile Storage Zones Controller

Summary

In Progress ShareFile Storage Zones Controller v5.12.5 and below, a party with valid zone credentials can perform path traversal using resumable upload initiation endpoint, allowing the party to write arbitrary content to any location writable by the application's service account. This may result in the execution of attacker-supplied code.

Severity

7.2 (High)
