Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability exists in SignerStatusReportWorker in Keyfactor SignServer versions before 7.6.0, where the output file path for status reports is not properly validated. An authenticated administrator can specify any filesystem path—including paths with directory traversal sequences or absolute paths—to write the report file to arbitrary locations. The vulnerability requires administrator access and could result in overwriting files owned by the JBoss application server process, potentially compromising application integrity or availability. The fix is available in version 7.6.0 and later.
