What is CVE-2026-79653?
CVE-2026-79653 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in Eclipse SW360, published on 27 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
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.
