File creation via CSR path traversal
Published Oct 8, 2024 · Updated Mar 10, 2026
Path traversal in Siemens SINEC Security Monitor before 4.9.0 allows remote attackers to create files outside the intended directory. The CSR-creation endpoint accepts a supplied file path without restricting it to the intended directory. No authentication is required, and the effect is limited to file creation in directories writable by the application.
