An issue was discovered in Vocera Report Server and Voice Server 5.x through 5.8. There is Path Traversal via the "restore SQL data" filename. The Vocera Report Console contains a websocket function that allows for the restoration of the database from a ZIP archive that expects a SQL import file. The filename provided is not properly sanitized and allows for the inclusion of a path-traversal payload that can be used to escape the intended Vocera restoration directory.
