Marvell QConvergeConsole GUI <= 5.5.0.74 is affected by a path traversal vulnerability. The deleteEventLogFile method of the GWTTestServiceImpl class lacks proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file deletion operations. An authenticated, remote attacker can leverage this vulnerability to delete arbitrary remote files as SYSTEM or root.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
