Arbitrary file write via path traversal
Published Jul 6, 2025 · Updated Jul 7, 2025
Path traversal in Comodo Internet Security Premium 12.3.4.8162 allows remote attackers to write files outside the intended download folder. The File Name Handler uses attacker-controlled name/folder input to construct a download pathname without neutralizing traversal elements, so a fetched file can be placed outside the restricted directory. Exploitation requires remote network access and high-complexity path manipulation, and the resulting arbitrary write can alter files at unintended locations.
