CVE-2026-9129 Details
Description
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Altium Enterprise Server Viewer StorageController due to improper handling of file path route parameters. On on-premise deployments that use local filesystem storage, a regular authenticated user can supply a URL-encoded absolute path (such as an encoded drive letter) in a Viewer storage API request, causing the configured storage root to be discarded and allowing arbitrary files to be read from the server filesystem. Because the readable files include the server's master configuration, which stores database credentials, signing key locations, certificate passwords, and OAuth secrets, exploitation can lead to disclosure of all server secrets and full compromise of the server and its data. Cloud deployments are not affected, as they use object storage and do not enable this component.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in the Altium Enterprise Server Viewer component, specifically within the StorageController. This vulnerability arises from improper handling of file path parameters in API requests. In on-premise deployments that utilize local filesystem storage, an authenticated user can send a URL-encoded absolute path, such as an encoded drive letter, through the Viewer storage API. This manipulation causes the designated storage root to be ignored, enabling access to arbitrary files on the server's filesystem. Exploitation of this vulnerability allows access to sensitive files, including the server's master configuration, which contains database credentials, signing key locations, certificate passwords, and OAuth secrets. As a result, this vulnerability could lead to the disclosure of all server secrets and a complete compromise of the server and its data. It is important to note that cloud deployments are not affected, as they rely on object storage and do not activate this component.
