Technical details
A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-35) exists in the Configuration Management component of Ericsson Packet Core Controller (PCC) versions prior to 1.39. The flaw allows an authenticated attacker with high privileges (PR:H) to traverse the file system via adjacent network access (AV:A). By exploiting this, the attacker can modify directory permissions, which can result in a partial loss of integrity and availability by locking out legitimate users or system services. The issue is resolved in PCC version 1.39.
