Path Traversal occurrences in Isagraf Workbench
Rockwell Automation ISaGRAF Workbench software versions 6.0 through 6.6.9 are affected by a Path Traversal vulnerability. A crafted malicious .7z exchange file may allow an attacker to gain the privileges of the ISaGRAF Workbench software when opened. If the software is running at the SYSTEM level, then the attacker will gain admin level privileges. User interaction is required for this exploit to be successful. (2022-08-25, CVE-2022-2463)
Rockwell Automation ISaGRAF Workbench software versions 6.0 through 6.6.9 are affected by a Path Traversal vulnerability. Crafted malicious files can allow an attacker to traverse the file system when opened by ISaGRAF Workbench. If successfully exploited, an attacker could overwrite existing files and create additional files with the same permissions of the ISaGRAF Workbench software. User interaction is required for this exploit to be successful. (2022-08-25, CVE-2022-2464)
Why Path Traversal can be dangerous
Relative Path Confusion means that your web server is configured to serve responses to ambiguous URLs. This configuration can possibly cause confusion about the correct relative path for the URL. It is also an issue of resources, such as images, styles etc., which are specified in the response using relative path, not the absolute URL.
If the web browser permits to parse "cross-content" response, the attacker may be able to fool the web browser into interpreting HTML into other content types, which can then lead to a cross site scripting attack (link do XSS).
