File disclosure via unchecked project resource path
Published Jun 7, 2023 · Updated Jan 6, 2025
Path traversal in PTC Vuforia Studio before 9.9 allows remote authenticated users to read host files through a crafted project import. During import, Studio accepts an attacker-controlled resourceDirectory value in appConfig.json and resolves resources outside the intended project directory. A high-privilege account and explicit import are required; exposure is limited to files readable by the Studio process.
