Overview

CVE-2026-40027 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on April 8, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

ALEAPP (Android Logs Events And Protobuf Parser) through 3.4.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the NQ_Vault.py artifact parser that uses attacker-controlled file_name_from values from a database directly as the output filename, allowing arbitrary file writes outside the report output directory. An attacker can embed a path traversal payload such as ../../../outside_written.bin in the database to write files to arbitrary locations, potentially achieving code execution by overwriting executable files or configuration.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
