CVE-2023-31167

Local file integrity compromise via relative path traversal

Published Aug 31, 2023 · Updated Sep 27, 2024

Relative path traversal in SEL-5036 acSELerator Bay Screen Builder Software before 1.0.49152.778 allows local users to escape an intended directory. SEL has not published the affected parser, file operation, or exact path input that crosses the directory boundary. Exploitation requires low local privileges and user interaction on Windows, and the published consequence is limited to integrity.
