A path traversal exists in a specific dll of Trend Micro Mobile Security (Enterprise) 9.8 SP5 which could allow an authenticated remote attacker to delete arbitrary files. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this 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.
