CVE-2024-56179

File write via attachment path traversal

Published Aug 22, 2025 · Updated Aug 22, 2025

Path traversal in MindManager Windows before 24.1.150 allows attackers to write files outside the attachment directory via a crafted mmap file. MindManager has not disclosed the affected function or exact path-validation failure; the public record establishes traversal during attachment extraction. Exploitation requires a victim to open both the crafted mmap file and an attachment within it, and the established consequence is writing to unexpected directories.
