CVE-2026-16139 (GCVE-0-2026-16139)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-08-17 13:31 – Updated: 2026-08-18 03:55

Title

Arbitrary file write via path traversal in Progress ShareFile Storage Zones Controller potentially leading to remote code execution

Summary

In Progress ShareFile Storage Zones Controller versions <= 5.12.5 and <= 6.0.2, an authenticated zone administrator can exploit improper validation in the download preparation flow, enabling attacker-controlled files to be written outside the intended preparation directory. This can lead to remote code execution in v5 versions. Remote code execution is not confirmed on v6 versions.

Severity

7.2 (High)
