What is CVE-2026-74235?

GFI Exinda AI prior to version 7.6.5 is susceptible to a path traversal vulnerability within the system maintenance configuration download handler. The vulnerability arises in the wcf_handle_download() function, where user-controlled parameters prefixed with v_del_ are appended directly to the base configuration directory without adequate sanitization. This flaw enables an authenticated attacker with Admin privileges to read arbitrary files on the system, potentially exposing sensitive data and system configurations. It's crucial for users of GFI Exinda AI to upgrade to the latest version to mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability.
