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
Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Proliz Software OBS allows Path Traversal. This issue affects OBS: before 24.0927.

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 · moderate confidence

A path traversal vulnerability in Proliz Software OBS allows remote attackers to access files outside the web root directory by manipulating file paths with '..' sequences. The critical CVSS 9.8 score indicates this is exploitable without authentication and can lead to sensitive file disclosure.

MitigationUpdate OBS to version 24.0927 or later to obtain the vendor patch. If immediate update is not possible, implement input validation that sanitizes file path parameters and blocks '..' sequences.

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. Identify installed OBS version
    Access the application's About page, check the footer/version information displayed in the web interface, or query the application's internal version endpoint if known. Compare the displayed version number to 24.0927.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 24.0927 (e.g., 24.0820, 24.0500, or any version number less than 24.0927).
  2. Confirm web service is running
    Attempt to access the OBS login page or main portal URL over HTTP/HTTPS. Verify the service responds and is reachable.
    Affected if The OBS web service is accessible and responds to requests, making it potentially exploitable over the network.
  3. Check for suspicious file access patterns
    Review web server access logs for requests containing '../' sequences, '..' patterns in URL parameters, or unusual file path patterns (e.g., ../../etc/passwd, ../../web.config). Search logs for multiple '..' occurrences.
    Affected if There are logged requests with '..' path traversal sequences targeting files outside the web root directory.
  4. Inspect for recently accessed sensitive files
    Check the web server's file system for any recently accessed or downloaded configuration files, password stores, or database files that should not be accessible via the web interface. Look at file modification timestamps around the time of potential exploitation.
    Affected if Sensitive files (such as configuration files containing credentials, database files, or system files) show signs of unauthorized access or retrieval.

You are affected if the installed OBS version is below 24.0927 and the web interface is accessible, since the path traversal vulnerability is exploitable without authentication.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 24.0927 or later
Fixed in 24.0927
Interim mitigation

Update OBS to version 24.0927 or later to obtain the vendor patch. If immediate update is not possible, implement input validation that sanitizes file path parameters and blocks '..' sequences.

Recommended fix High confidence

24.0927

  1. 1. Back up the current OBS database and configuration files before proceeding with any upgrade.
  2. 2. Download the OBS version 24.0927 or later from the official Proliz Software distribution channel.
  3. 3. Stop the OBS application services to ensure no active connections during upgrade.
  4. 4. Install the updated OBS version 24.0927 following the vendor's standard upgrade procedure.
  5. 5. Verify the installation completed successfully by checking application logs.
  6. 6. Restart the OBS services and confirm the application is operational.
  7. 7. Validate that the path traversal vulnerability is remediated by testing file access controls.
