CVE-2018-1797
Last modified
CVE-2018-1797 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.3/10 on the CVSS scale. IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.0, 8.0, 8.5, and 9.0 using Enterprise bundle Archives (EBA) could allow a local attacker to traverse directories on the system. By persuading a victim to extract a specially-crafted ZIP archive containing "dot dot slash" sequences (../), an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to write to arbitrary files on the system. EPSS estimates a 1.95% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
