Critical CVSS 9.8

Overview

Marvell QConvergeConsole saveAsText Directory Traversal Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Marvell QConvergeConsole. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the saveAsText method. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-24913.

Risk analysis

This vulnerability is rated 🔴 CRITICAL.

  • CVSS: 9.8 (CRITICAL)
  • Detected tags: path, rce (tag impact: VERY HIGH)

Recommended actions:

  • Canonicalize path; block `..` traversal; use allowlists.
  • Patch/upgrade immediately (remote code execution).
  • Reduce exposure (WAF/segmentation), minimize attack surface.
