Attackers can exploit an open API listener on SteelSeries GG 36.0.0 to create a sub-application that will be executed automatically from a controlled location, because of a path traversal vulnerability.
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.
