## What is CVE-2026-54202?

CVE-2026-54202 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Tobit Laboratories AG TeamDavid, published on 7 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Tobit Laboratories AG TeamDavid's Webbox  is vulnerable to a path traversal vulnerability in the 
archive creation functionality. Because the archive path is 
user-controlled and insufficiently validated, an attacker can manipulate
 the input to traverse directories. This allows the creation of folders 
in arbitrary locations, including sensitive directories such as 
C:\Windows or for different users. This issue affects TeamDavid before Rollout 528.

Starting with Rollout 528 (June 30, 2026), the affected functionality is disabled by default and the vulnerabilities are therefore no longer exposed through this functionality.

Weakness: CWE-36 (Absolute Path Traversal)

What it is: CVE-2026-54202 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Tobit Laboratories AG TeamDavid, published on 7 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-54202 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Tobit Laboratories AG TeamDavid. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
