CVE-2025-32821Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary file write via portalName path traversal

Published May 7, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Command injection in SonicWall SMA 100 Series 10.2.1.14-75sv and earlier allows remote authenticated users to write arbitrary files. The /cgi-bin/importlogo handler filters portalName for shell metacharacters but not traversal, then interpolates it into a cp command. SSLVPN administrator access is required; alone, the flaw writes only where nobody has permission, while chained flaws enable root code execution.
