Unauthenticated file access and code execution via traversal
Published Aug 5, 2025 · Updated Aug 5, 2025
Path traversal in Delta Electronics DIAView 4.2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to read or write files without authentication. The TCP port 80 web service uses a user-supplied path in file operations without validating that it remains in an allowed directory. Unauthorized reads expose service-account-accessible data, while file writes can execute code with that account's access.

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.
