CVE-2026-1186

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

EAP Legislator is vulnerable to Path Traversal in file extraction functionality. An attacker can prepare a zipx archive (the default file type used by the Legislator application) and choose an arbitrary path outside the intended directory (e.g., system startup) where files will be extracted by the victim upon opening the file. This issue was fixed in version 2.25a.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves the possibility of writing malicious files to critical system locations, which could lead to execution of malicious code at system startup or overwriting important files. The attack requires user interaction (opening a crafted archive).

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update EAP Legislator to version 2.25a or later. Users should also be informed about the risk of opening zipx archives from untrusted sources.
