Bold Reports Standalone Report Designer before 14.1.12 contains a missing filepath validation vulnerability in its file upload functionality that allows authenticated attackers to traverse outside the intended directory by supplying a crafted filename. Attackers can exploit this path traversal weakness to execute arbitrary commands with high privileges on the server. The vulnerability is specific to the DataHub module, which was introduced in Bold Reports 6.3.
Therefore, versions prior to 6.3 are not affected.
