Technical details
A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in the StorageController component of Altium Enterprise Server. The flaw is caused by improper handling of file path route parameters, where the application fails to validate URL-encoded absolute paths. An authenticated attacker can provide an encoded drive letter or absolute path in a Viewer storage API request, causing the application to discard the intended storage root and access the entire host filesystem. This allows for the retrieval of the server's master configuration file, which contains high-value secrets such as OAuth tokens, certificate passwords, and database credentials. This issue specifically affects on-premise deployments utilizing local filesystem storage; cloud deployments using object storage are unaffected.
