An Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in the Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories Real-Time Automation Controller (SEL RTAC) Web Interface could allow a remote authenticated attacker to create folders in arbitrary paths of the file system. See SEL Service Bulletin dated 2022-11-15 for more details.
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.
