9th percentile - higher than 9% of all known CVEs

Summary

ALEAPP (Android Logs Events And Protobuf Parser) through version 3.4.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the NQ_Vault.py parser. An attacker can use a controlled database value as the output filename, allowing file writes outside the report directory, potentially leading to code execution.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that an attacker can overwrite executable or configuration files, potentially gaining control of the system.

Recommendation

Update ALEAPP to a version later than 3.4.0 and restrict write permissions for the parser process.

Original NVD description (English source)

ALEAPP (Android Logs Events And Protobuf Parser) through 3.4.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the NQ_Vault.py artifact parser that uses attacker-controlled file_name_from values from a database directly as the output filename, allowing arbitrary file writes outside the report output directory. An attacker can embed a path traversal payload such as ../../../outside_written.bin in the database to write files to arbitrary locations, potentially achieving code execution by overwriting executable files or configuration.
