Technical details
A directory traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in the DriveLock Enterprise Service (DES) web service, which typically listens on TCP port 4568. The flaw is caused by insufficient validation of user-supplied file paths containing sequences such as '..'. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted network request to access arbitrary files outside the intended directory in the context of the service account. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 24.2.9, 25.1.7, and 25.2.4.
