Unauthenticated arbitrary file append via path traversal
Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026
Path traversal in AIT-Core BSC before 2.6.1 and 3.1.0 allows remote attackers to append controlled data to arbitrary files. An unauthenticated POST to //start passes attacker-controlled path fields into handler construction without confining the resolved log path to the configured root. Network access to ait-bsc, or a browser on a reachable local network loading attacker-controlled JavaScript, is sufficient; writes use the service account's permissions and can corrupt writable data or exhaust disk space.

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.
- Affected versionversion=< 2.6.1
- Affected versionversion== 3.1.0
