CVE-2026-35079
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 · uneditedThe ugw-restore method allows a remote attacker with user privileges to delete arbitrary local files due to insufficient validation of user-controlled input.
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 confidenceThe ugw-restore method in an unspecified product permits authenticated remote users to delete arbitrary local files due to insufficient validation of user-controlled input, likely a path traversal vulnerability.

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 product and firmware versionAccess the web interface or CLI and locate the firmware version information for Mbs Solutions Universal Gateway. This is typically found in System > Status, System > About, or via CLI command 'show version' or 'system info'.Affected if The installed firmware version is Universal Gateway Firmware and is lower than 6_00_07
-
Verify ugw-restore method is accessibleCheck if the ugw-restore functionality exists in the application. This may be accessible via web API endpoint, administrative interface, or CLI restore command. Look for restore/backup functions in the web interface or API routes.Affected if The ugw-restore method exists and is exposed for use
-
Confirm user authentication is enabledVerify that authentication is required to access the ugw-restore functionality. Check if the system allows standard privileged users to authenticate and access restore features without elevated admin rights.Affected if Standard authenticated users (non-admin) can access the restore function
-
Check authorization controls on restore functionInspect the access control configuration or user role permissions to determine if standard users have permission to execute restore operations that can specify file paths.Affected if Standard users have delete/write permissions through the restore function without proper path validation enforced
A user is affected if they are running Mbs Solutions Universal Gateway Firmware version below 6_00_07 with the ugw-restore method accessible to authenticated standard-privilege users.

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.
dbcve · scoped6_00_07
Implement strict input validation and path sanitization in the ugw-restore method to ensure only authorized files within allowed directories can be deleted.
Universal Gateway Firmware version 6_00_07
- Obtain the Universal Gateway Firmware version 6_00_07 from the official vendor source (www.certvde.com reference indicates Cert VDE is the vendor)
- Review the vendor's firmware upgrade documentation specific to the Universal Gateway device
- Backup the current device configuration before initiating the upgrade
- Upload and apply firmware version 6_00_07 to the Universal Gateway device using the vendor's recommended procedure
- Verify the upgrade completed successfully and confirm the ugw-restore method now properly validates input
