Authenticated restricted-directory upload via path traversal
Published Sep 4, 2025 · Updated Sep 4, 2025
Relative path traversal in IBM Jazz Foundation allows remote authenticated users to upload files outside an allowed server directory. IBM identifies improper neutralization of path sequences during file upload but does not disclose the affected endpoint or validation routine. An authenticated session is required, and successful exploitation writes attacker-supplied files into a restricted server directory without reported read or service-interruption impact.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=7.0.2 <=7.0.2 iFix033
- Affected versionversion=7.0.3 <=7.0.3 iFix012
- Affected versionversion=7.1.0 <=7.1.0 iFix002
