Path Traversal in Altium Projects Service
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Projects Service download endpoint shared by Altium Enterprise Server and Altium 365.
Description
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Projects Service download endpoint shared by Altium Enterprise Server and Altium 365. An authenticated user can supply a crafted path parameter that bypasses validation, allowing arbitrary files (including entire directories returned as archives) to be read from the server filesystem.
Because the readable files include service configuration and credential material, exploitation can be used to gather information enabling further compromise. The issue can be combined with CVE-2026-11424 to reach the cloud-side endpoint. On multi-tenant Altium 365 deployments, the readable configuration could have exposed credentials shared across services. Altium Enterprise Server is fixed in 8.1.1; the issue has been remediated in Altium 365 at the service level.

Server-Side Request Forgery in Altium Platform Design GraphQL Service
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in a GraphQL service component shared by Altium Enterprise Server and Altium 365.
Description
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in a GraphQL service component shared by Altium Enterprise Server and Altium 365. An authenticated user can submit a request whose input is treated as a URL by the server and used to issue an outbound HTTP GET request without URL validation or destination filtering. The response body is then returned to the user.
This allows an authenticated attacker to reach internal services and metadata endpoints that would not otherwise be accessible from the public network, and to retrieve their contents. The impact is information disclosure and internal infrastructure reconnaissance; the request primitive is limited to HTTP GET with no custom headers. Altium Enterprise Server is fixed in 8.1.1; the issue has been remediated in Altium 365 at the service level.

Path Traversal in Altium Enterprise Server Collaboration Service
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Altium Enterprise Server Collaboration Service due to improper handling of user-supplied filenames in the MCAD and Simulation file download flows.
Description
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Altium Enterprise Server Collaboration Service due to improper handling of user-supplied filenames in the MCAD and Simulation file download flows. A regular authenticated user can submit a collaboration message containing a crafted filename, which is later used to construct the download path on the server without validation, allowing arbitrary files to be read from the server filesystem.
Because the readable files include the server's master configuration, which stores credentials for privileged accounts, exploitation can lead to authenticating as a system administrator and gaining full control of the server. Altium 365 cloud deployments are not affected.

Path Traversal in Altium Enterprise Server Network Installation Service
Two path traversal vulnerabilities in the Network Installation Service (NIS) of Altium Enterprise Server allow an unauthenticated network attacker to write arbitrary files to any writable location on the server filesystem and to read package archive files from the server. No authentication, session, or credentials are required.
Description
Two path traversal vulnerabilities in the Network Installation Service (NIS) of Altium Enterprise Server allow an unauthenticated network attacker to write arbitrary files to any writable location on the server filesystem and to read package archive files from the server. No authentication, session, or credentials are required.
Because content-controlled files can be written to web-accessible directories, or used to overwrite application binaries or configuration files, exploitation can be escalated to remote code execution in the context of the service account, and can disclose deployment package contents. Altium 365 cloud deployments are not affected, as the Network Installation Service is not part of the cloud offering.

Path Traversal in Altium Enterprise Server Vault UploadController
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Altium Enterprise Server Vault Service UploadController due to improper validation of a user-controlled path component in image upload requests.
Description
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Altium Enterprise Server Vault Service UploadController due to improper validation of a user-controlled path component in image upload requests. An authenticated user can supply a crafted absolute path so that the configured storage root is discarded, allowing arbitrary files to be written to any location on the server filesystem writable by the service account.
Because content-controlled files can be written to web-accessible directories, or used to overwrite application binaries or configuration files, this can be escalated to remote code execution, service takeover, or denial of service. Altium 365 cloud deployments are not affected, as the affected endpoint is not reachable and the cloud storage architecture mitigates the file-write primitive.

Hard-coded Cryptographic Key and Path Traversal in Altium Enterprise Server Vault Service
A hard-coded cryptographic key is used by Altium Enterprise Server to sign file download URLs in the Vault service.
Description
A hard-coded cryptographic key is used by Altium Enterprise Server to sign file download URLs in the Vault service. Because the key is identical across all installations, an unauthenticated network attacker who can reach the server can forge valid download signatures and retrieve files from the Vault storage area without any authentication, session, or credentials.
A separate path traversal vulnerability in the same download endpoint allows the configured storage root to be escaped, enabling reads of arbitrary files on the server filesystem. Combined, these issues allow an unauthenticated attacker to obtain sensitive server configuration and key material, which can lead to full server compromise. The vulnerability can be chained with CVE-2026-9152 to enumerate and bulk-download stored content. Altium 365 cloud deployments are not impacted in practice, as file storage uses object storage rather than the local filesystem.

Unauthenticated SOAP Endpoint in Altium 365 Search Service
A missing authentication vulnerability exists in the Altium 365 SearchService.
Description
A missing authentication vulnerability exists in the Altium 365 SearchService. A legacy SOAP endpoint exposes search index operations without requiring authentication, session tokens, or any form of identity verification. An unauthenticated network attacker who can reference a target workspace's identifier can interact with that workspace's search index, crossing tenant boundaries.
Successful exploitation allows reading a workspace's indexed contents (such as component data, project and folder names, and user metadata) and injecting, modifying, or deleting search index entries. These operations affect the search index only, not the underlying vault data, but they can disclose sensitive workspace information and compromise the integrity and availability of search results. Altium 365 cloud deployments are affected; on-premise Altium Enterprise Server is not affected.

Path Traversal in Altium Enterprise Server Comparison Service
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Altium Enterprise Server ComparisonService due to missing filename sanitization in the Gerber file upload APIs.
Description
A regular authenticated workspace user can supply a crafted filename in the multipart Content-Disposition header to escape the intended temporary upload directory and write arbitrary files to any location on the server filesystem.
Because content-controlled files can be written to web-accessible directories, this can be escalated to remote code execution in the context of the service account. It can also be used to overwrite application binaries or configuration files, leading to service takeover or denial of service.

Path Traversal in Altium Enterprise Server Viewer Storage Controller
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Altium Enterprise Server Viewer StorageController due to improper handling of file path route parameters.
Description
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Altium Enterprise Server Viewer StorageController due to improper handling of file path route parameters. On on-premise deployments that use local filesystem storage, a regular authenticated user can supply a URL-encoded absolute path (such as an encoded drive letter) in a Viewer storage API request, causing the configured storage root to be discarded and allowing arbitrary files to be read from the server filesystem.
Because the readable files include the server's master configuration, which stores database credentials, signing key locations, certificate passwords, and OAuth secrets, exploitation can lead to disclosure of all server secrets and full compromise of the server and its data. Cloud deployments are not affected, as they use object storage and do not enable this component.

Stored Cross-Site Scripting in Altium Live User Profile Fields
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the user profile text fields of Altium 365.
Description
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the user profile text fields of Altium 365. Insufficient server-side input sanitization allows authenticated users to inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript payloads using whitespace-based attribute parsing bypass techniques.
The injected payload is persisted and executed when other users view the affected profile page. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to perform actions such as session token theft, phishing attacks, or malicious redirections in the context of the victim’s browser session.
Exploitation requires an authenticated account and user interaction to view the crafted profile but does not require elevated privileges.

Over-Permissive CORS Configuration in Altium 365 Workspace
An over-permissive Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) configuration exists in the Altium 365 workspace, allowing credentialed cross-origin access from other Altium-controlled subdomains. This misconfiguration can be abused to access authenticated workspace APIs when chained with vulnerabilities in external applications.
Description
An over-permissive Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) configuration was identified in the Altium 365 workspace web application. The workspace was configured to allow credentialed cross-origin requests from other Altium-controlled subdomains (for example, forum.live.altium.com) via the Access-Control-Allow-Origin and Access-Control-Allow-Credentials response headers.
As a result, JavaScript executing on those external origins could perform authenticated requests to Altium 365 workspace endpoints in the context of a logged-in user. When chained with vulnerabilities such as stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in those external applications, this misconfiguration could enable unauthorized access to workspace data, execution of administrative actions, and bypass of IP allowlisting controls, including in GovCloud environments.
This issue represents a trust boundary failure in the Altium 365 platform, where untrusted or less-trusted applications were permitted to interact with sensitive workspace APIs.
