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
A vulnerability was determined in Acrel Electrical EEMS Enterprise Power Operation and Maintenance Cloud Platform 1.3.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /SubstationWEBV2/app/..;/main/upfile. Executing a manipulation of the argument path can lead to path traversal. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

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

Path traversal vulnerability in the file upload functionality of Acrel Electrical EEMS Enterprise Power Operation and Maintenance Cloud Platform 1.3.0. The endpoint /SubstationWEBV2/app/..;/main/upfile does not properly validate the path argument, allowing attackers to use '..;/' directory traversal sequences to access or write files outside the intended directory. This is a remote exploitable file operation vulnerability with CVSS 7.3.

MitigationImplement strict input validation to reject directory traversal sequences ('..' or encoded variants) in file path parameters, and store all uploaded files outside web-accessible directories with appropriate access controls.

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 if Acrel EEMS platform is present
    Locate the SubstationWEBV2 web application directory on the server or confirm the application is accessible via HTTP by accessing the /SubstationWEBV2 endpoint
    Affected if The SubstationWEBV2 component of Acrel EEMS Enterprise Power Operation and Maintenance Cloud Platform is found on the system
  2. Confirm the installed version
    Check the application version information, typically found in the application about page, metadata files within the web root, or by querying the application's version endpoint
    Affected if The installed version matches 1.3.0 or falls within the affected version range
  3. Verify the vulnerable endpoint exists
    Send an HTTP request to /SubstationWEBV2/app/..;/main/upfile and observe the response
    Affected if The endpoint responds with any HTTP status code (including error codes), indicating the path is being processed by the application
  4. Check if path traversal filter can be bypassed
    Send a test request using the '..;/' bypass pattern (e.g., /SubstationWEBV2/app/..;/main/upfile or similar path) and examine whether the filter is bypassed
    Affected if The '..;/' pattern bypasses the path traversal filter and allows access to paths outside the intended directory

A system is affected if it runs Acrel Electrical EEMS Enterprise Power Operation and Maintenance Cloud Platform version 1.3.0 with the SubstationWEBV2 component and the /SubstationWEBV2/app/..;/ endpoint accepts the path traversal bypass pattern.
