Path traversal in Zenitel turbineweb certificate upload allows arbitrary file write as root (CVE-2026-95378)
Published Last modified Sources: CVE.org, EUVD
What is affected, what to do
Path traversal in the certificate upload endpoint (/api/certificate/upload) of the turbineweb web interface in Zenitel VSFF6, VSFF8, VSFF8MP, VSFF8MN, and VSFT devices with software versions from 10.0.3.0 before 10.1.3.0 allows authenticated administrators to write arbitrary files as root via a crafted filename parameter in a multipart upload request when the type field is set to any value other than https_certificate. In that case, both path validation and certificate content validation are skipped.
Update Zenitel VSFF6 to version 10.1.3.0, Zenitel VSFF8 to version 10.1.3.0, Zenitel VSFF8MP to version 10.1.3.0.

Priority (0–325)
The priority score is a consolidated metric that condenses several individual signals into a single, action-guiding ranking: technical severity (CVSS), exploitation likelihood (EPSS), known-exploited status (KEV) and the context of the affected asset. The aim is to answer the only truly important question in vulnerability management: what first?
Read in glossary- 73.00 Methodology
Exploit maturity
An exploit is code or a technique that specifically uses a concrete vulnerability to force unintended behaviour — such as executing code or escalating privileges. It is the tool that turns a theoretical flaw into a practical attack.
Read in glossary- no public PoC known
XIEM Effective CVSS
XIEM® is the tiered managed-security operating model from NEOSEC and a registered trademark of NEOSEC GmbH. It extends classic SIEM — the central collection, normalisation and correlation of security-relevant events — with endpoint forensics, network visibility and deception technology, and consolidates them into three building tiers: Sentry, Orchestrate and Command.
Read in glossary- 8.6 Methodology
CVSS v4
CVSS is the globally established, open standard for assessing the technical severity of a vulnerability on a scale from 0 to 10. It describes how easily a flaw can be exploited and what damage it can cause — but not how likely its actual exploitation is. CVSS and the complementary EPSS deliberately answer different questions.

KEV status
The KEV catalogue is a list maintained by the US authority CISA of vulnerabilities for which active exploitation in the wild has been confirmed. It answers not the question „how severe?“ but „is it already being attacked?“ — thereby sharply prioritising patching.

CWE
CWE is a catalogue of typical weakness types in software and hardware — such as flawed input validation, unsafe memory handling or poor authentication. Where a CVE names a concrete vulnerability in a concrete product, a CWE describes the underlying class of defect.

Detection rules
No NEOSEC detection rule is available for this vulnerability yet.
Classification under NIS2 and CRA
Rule-based classification from exploitation status and severity. It does not replace a case-by-case assessment.
NIS2
NIS2 is EU Directive (EU) 2022/2555 to raise the level of cybersecurity across the Union. It substantially broadens obligations compared with the first NIS directive: more sectors, mandatory risk management, staged reporting duties and personal accountability of senior management.
Read in glossary- High technical severity: assess and remediate the vulnerability in vulnerability handling under Art. 21(2)(e) NIS2 and document the decision.
CRA
The CRA is EU Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 setting horizontal cybersecurity requirements for „products with digital elements“ — from industrial controllers and software to connected consumer devices. For the first time manufacturers must ensure security across the entire product lifecycle, handle vulnerabilities and provide security updates.
Read in glossary- From 11.12.2027, Annex I Part II CRA requires manufacturers of affected products with digital elements to handle vulnerabilities without delay and provide security updates.
ISO/IEC 27001
ISO/IEC 27001 is the internationally leading standard for an information security management system (ISMS). It describes a risk-based, process-oriented framework to systematically plan, implement, review and improve information security.

Description
Path traversal in the certificate upload endpoint (/api/certificate/upload) of the turbineweb web interface in Zenitel VSFF6, VSFF8, VSFF8MP, VSFF8MN, and VSFT devices with software versions from 10.0.3.0 before 10.1.3.0 allows authenticated administrators to write arbitrary files as root via a crafted filename parameter in a multipart upload request when the type field is set to any value other than https_certificate. In that case, both path validation and certificate content validation are skipped. This can be escalated to arbitrary code execution as root, for example by overwriting startup scripts or planting SSH keys.

Vendors and products
Weakness classes (CWE)
CWE-22Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Base
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.
Entry at MITRE CWE-22CWE-434Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
Base
The product allows the upload or transfer of dangerous file types that are automatically processed within its environment.
Entry at MITRE CWE-434
