Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Path traversal vulnerability exists in SKYSEA Client View Ver.3.013.00 to Ver.19.210.04e. If this vulnerability is exploited, an arbitrary executable file may be executed by a user who can log in to the PC where the product's Windows client is installed.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

A path traversal vulnerability in SKYSEA Client View versions 3.013.00 through 19.210.04e allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary executable files by manipulating file paths, potentially enabling local privilege escalation or malicious code execution on Windows clients where the product is installed.

MitigationApply the vendor-provided patch for SKYSEA Client View to remediate the path traversal vulnerability. Restrict physical and remote access to systems running the affected client software to trusted authenticated users only.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm SKYSEA Client View is installed
    Check for SKYSEA Client View in the list of installed programs via Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features, or query the Windows Registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for entries containing 'SKYSEA' or 'Client View'.
    Affected if The software is present on the system.
  2. Determine installed version number
    Locate the installed version by examining the program's properties (right-click the executable or shortcut > Details), checking the Windows Registry under the uninstall key, or using a software inventory tool to query the installed version field.
    Affected if The displayed version falls within the range 15.200.13i through 19.210.04e, or is less than 19.300.09h.
  3. Verify user authentication is available
    Confirm that user authentication mechanisms are configured or active for SKYSEA Client View, since the vulnerability requires an authenticated user session to exploit the path traversal.
    Affected if User accounts or authentication are enabled for the SKYSEA Client View installation.
  4. Check for ability to trigger file operations
    Review whether the file download or file transfer functionality is accessible to authenticated users, as the path traversal vulnerability is exploited through manipulating file paths during these operations.
    Affected if File transfer or download features are accessible to standard authenticated users.

A system is affected if SKYSEA Client View is installed with a version between 15.200.13i and 19.300.09h (exclusive), and authenticated users can access file transfer or download functionality where arbitrary file paths can be specified.
