Authenticated arbitrary file write via export filename
Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026
Path traversal in Eleveo Quality Management 9.7.0 allows remote authenticated users to write files outside the export directory. QuestionnaireService.runDataExportNow uses the attacker-controlled file_name argument to select an export path without confining it to the intended directory. Low-privileged access to the remote Questionnaire Service is required, and successful exploitation can overwrite files writable by the service account.
