Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Pinnacle Studio 12 version 6.5.201.0

Description: A directory traversal issue exists, allowing remote attackers to create and overwrite arbitrary files via a filename containing a .. (dot dot backslash) sequence in a Hollywood FX Compressed Archive (.hfz) file. This can potentially be leveraged for code execution by decompressing a file to a Startup folder.

Recommendations: For version 6.5.201.0, consider restricting access to the InstallHFZ.exe module to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the Hollywood FX Compressed Archive (.hfz) file format until a patch is available.
