Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in filenames during file upload within Action File Upload Interceptor. A remote attacker can upload a specially crafted file to the server into an arbitrary directory.
