Path traversal in the Intel(R) Quartus Prime Pro and Standard edition software may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
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.
