File write outside intended directories via path traversal
Published Jan 3, 2024 · Updated Jun 18, 2025
Path traversal in HCL Software MyXalytics 5.9, 6.0, and 6.1 allows remote authenticated users to upload files outside intended directories. Certain endpoints accept user-controlled storage paths, including filenames, without constraining the resolved path to the designated upload directory. A low-privileged account and network access to an affected endpoint are required; successful exploitation writes attacker-supplied files to unintended server locations.
