Arbitrary image-file read via unvalidated path
Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026
Path traversal in Newell Brands DYMO Connect for Desktop before 1.6.2 allows attackers to read arbitrary image files from the host. The LoadImageAsPngBase64 endpoint passes an inadequately validated file-path parameter to its image-loading operation, permitting paths outside the intended scope. The local web service must be reachable, and the resulting exposure is limited to files with an accepted image extension.
