CVE-2026-84882Network attack vector

Authenticated arbitrary file write via wallet upload traversal

Published Sep 25, 2026 · Updated Sep 25, 2026

Path traversal in IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 allows remote authenticated users to write arbitrary files through an Oracle Wallet upload. The Universal Connector Oracle Wallet upload component accepts a crafted pathname without confining it to the intended directory, writing uploaded content to an attacker-selected location. Access to the authenticated upload workflow is required; IBM reports arbitrary file-write impact but does not disclose writable paths or code-execution conditions.
