IBM OpenPages with Watson 8.3 and 9.0 IBM OpenPages could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker with privileges to perform Import Configuration could send a specially crafted http request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) in the file name parameter used in Import Configuration to write files to arbitrary locations outside of the specified directory and possibly overwrite arbitrary files.

Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
The software uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the software does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
