Last modified

CVE-2008-2015 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple absolute path traversal vulnerabilities in certain ActiveX controls in WatchFire AppScan 7.0 allow remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a full pathname in the argument to the (1) CompactSave and (2) SaveSession method in one control, and the (3) saveRecordedExploreToFile method in a different control. NOTE: this can be leveraged for code execution by writing to a Startup folder.. EPSS estimates a 8.33% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
