When decomposing a Source DataStream (SDS) file, the application does not properly validate relative file path attributes, leading to a path traversal vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this flaw by tricking a user or automated system into decomposing a crafted datastream containing directory traversal sequences. Successful exploitation allows unauthorized file creation or modification outside the intended target directory with the permissions of the executing process.","published":"2026-10-21T20:17:27.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-23T06:17:08.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"secalert@redhat.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.1,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L"},"cwe":["CWE-22"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00328,"percentile":0.25756,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-22","score":0.0027,"percentile":0.18152}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.33%).
