CVE-2025-33004Network attack vector

Privileged file deletion via improper pathname restriction

Published Jun 1, 2025 · Updated Aug 26, 2025

Path traversal in IBM Planning Analytics Local 2.0 and 2.1 allows remote authenticated users with high privileges to delete files. Planning Analytics Workspace inadequately restricts pathnames supplied to a file-deletion operation, allowing paths to escape the intended directory. Exploitation requires high-privilege access to the network interface; the documented consequence is file deletion, with no reported file read or code execution.
