A path traversal vulnerability allows an attacker with a low-privileged account and local access to the system to perform local privilege escalation (LPE).
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.
