CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Eclipse SW360 up to 19.2.0/20.0.0/20.1.0. It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown function of the component Attachment Upload. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In Eclipse SW360 versions 19.0.0, 19.1.0, 19.2.0, 20.0.0, 20.1.0, if the system is configured to use file system storage with config key enable.attachment.store.to.file.system, the attacker can manipulate the filename upon upload and can essentially cause arbitrary file path traversal. The immediate workaround is to disable enable.attachment.store.to.file.system or update to fixed versions.

The advisory is shared at gitlab.eclipse.org. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-79653 since 08/25/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely.
