| Description | GFI Exinda AI and ClearView before 7.6.5 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the diagnostic file deletion handler. The unlink_or_email_file() function accepts parameters prefixed with v_file_row_ and appends their values directly to a base directory path without sanitizing for directory traversal sequences. An authenticated attacker with Admin privileges can delete arbitrary files from the system in the context of root. |
