CVE-2023-29152Network attack vector

Arbitrary file deletion via filename parameter

Published Jun 7, 2023 · Updated Jan 6, 2025

Improper authorization in PTC Vuforia Studio before 9.9 allows remote authenticated users to delete arbitrary files through a request. Changing the filename parameter redirects the file-deletion operation without authorizing the newly selected target. Exploitation requires high privileges and user interaction, and deletion is limited to files accessible to the Vuforia server account.
