CVE-2025-40592Network attack vector

Arbitrary file write via module archive traversal

Published Jun 12, 2025 · Updated Jul 8, 2025

Path traversal in Siemens Mendix Studio Pro before fixed branch releases allows attackers to write arbitrary files via a malicious module. The module installer extracts crafted archive entries without containing their paths within the developer's project directory. A developer must install the attacker-supplied module, such as one distributed through the Mendix Marketplace; the resulting write can modify files outside the project.
