A path traversal vulnerability was discovered in the Import Arc data archive functionality due to insufficient validation of the input file. An authenticated user with limited privileges, by uploading a specifically-crafted Arc data archive, can potentially write arbitrary files in arbitrary paths, altering the device configuration and/or affecting its availability.
