CVE-2026-0205: CWE-35 Path traversal: '.../...//' in SonicWall SonicOS
A post-authentication Path Traversal vulnerability in SonicOS allows an attacker to interact with usually restricted services.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CWE-35) in SonicWall SonicOS involves a path traversal flaw that occurs after authentication, enabling an attacker to access or interact with restricted services by manipulating file paths containing sequences like '.../...//'. It impacts several older versions of SonicOS, including 6.5.5.1-6n and earlier, 7.0.1-5169 and earlier, 7.3.1-7013 and earlier, and 8.1.0-8017 and earlier. The vulnerability is published but lacks a CVSS score and official remediation guidance from the vendor at this time.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authentication privileges can exploit this path traversal vulnerability to access or interact with services that should be restricted, potentially leading to unauthorized access or actions within the SonicOS environment. There is no evidence of active exploitation in the wild currently.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to SonicOS management interfaces to trusted users only and monitor for unusual activity post-authentication.
