What it is

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize sequences such as ".." that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.

CVE-2026-85199

CVE-2026-85199 - UNKNOWN Severity Vulnerability

Eclipse aeriOS Self-orchestrator versions prior to 1.2.1 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the REST API. User-controlled identifiers used to create, update, or delete Self-orchestrator resources were incorporated into filesystem paths without adequate validation or sanitization. An unauthenticated remote attacker able to access the Self-orchestrator API could therefore supply specially crafted identifiers containing path traversal sequences to write or delete JSON files outside the intended application directories, subject to the filesystem permissions of the Self-orchestrator process. The impact is increased by the absence of authentication on the affected API and by the container running with elevated privileges in the affected deployment configuration. The issue has been addressed in version 1.2.1 by introducing validation and sanitization of user-controlled identifiers before they are used to construct filesystem paths, preventing path separator characters from being used to escape the intended directories.

CVE-2026-81849

CVE-2026-81849 - HIGH Severity Vulnerability

Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory in the aws:downloadContent plugin in amazon-ssm-agent before 3.3.4515.0 might allow an authenticated remote user whose ssm:SendCommand permission is restricted to the AWS-DownloadContent document, to write arbitrary files outside the intended download directory with root privileges, via crafted object keys in the S3 source the document is directed to retrieve. This issue may lead to arbitrary code execution as root if specific sensitive files are overwritten. To remediate this issue, customers should upgrade amazon-ssm-agent to version 3.3.4515.0 or later.

CVE-2026-81838

CVE-2026-81838 - HIGH Severity Vulnerability

A relative path traversal issue in the zip extraction functionality in AWS diagram-as-code (awsdac) in versions 0.10 through 0.23 can allow a third party to write arbitrary files to the local filesystem via crafted zip entry names containing path traversal sequences. This could allow the third party to perform inappropriate actions in the diagram bundle. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to the version 0.24 or later.
