CVE-2026-111635
Helical Insight through 7.0.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated viewers to read files outside the solution directory via the path parameter of /getExternalResource.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Helical Insight through 7.0.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated viewers to read files outside the solution directory via the path parameter of /getExternalResource. Attackers can supply parent-directory segments to read any readable file with an allowed extension such as js, json, or html, bypassing per-resource access control.
