CVE-2026-22448
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 · uneditedImproper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in flexcubed PitchPrint pitchprint allows Path Traversal.This issue affects PitchPrint: from n/a through <= 11.1.2.
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 confidenceA path traversal vulnerability exists in flexcubed PitchPrint (versions up to 11.1.2) that allows attackers to manipulate file path inputs using directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to access files outside the intended restricted directory. This improper input validation could enable unauthorized file system access.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify PitchPrint installationSearch for PitchPrint files or check your application inventory for the flexcubed PitchPrint component. Look for directories named 'pitchprint' or check your plugins/modules list.Affected if PitchPrint is installed and the version is 11.1.2 or lower
-
Determine installed PitchPrint versionLocate the version file or header within the PitchPrint installation directory. Check version.json, package.json, or the main plugin file for the version string.Affected if The installed version is 11.1.2 or any version up to and including 11.1.2
-
Verify file upload or path parameter functionality existsReview your web application for endpoints or forms that accept file paths as input parameters, particularly those related to file retrieval, download, or processing features within PitchPrint.Affected if The application exposes any feature that accepts file path input without apparent validation
-
Test for directory traversal vulnerabilityIf file path parameters exist, attempt a controlled test using a traversal sequence (such as ../../) in the parameter to see if the application allows access outside the intended directory. Use a non-production test environment for this.Affected if The application accepts and processes directory traversal sequences in file path inputs, allowing access outside the expected directory structure
Your environment is affected if PitchPrint versions 11.1.2 or lower are installed and the application exposes file path input parameters that lack proper validation against directory traversal sequences.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade PitchPrint to a version beyond 11.1.2. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all file path parameters, restricting access to allowed directories and blocking traversal sequences.
