Description
A vulnerability has been identified in Automation License Manager 5 (All versions < 5.3.4.4), Automation License Manager 6 (All versions < 6.0.1). A directory traversal vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to move arbitrary files, which can result in code execution, compromising confidentiality, integrity and availability of the system. Successful exploitation requires a network connection to the affected device. The attacker does not need privileges or special conditions of the system, but user interaction is required.
