NVD description

Improper neutralization of path traversal sequences in TeamViewer Desktop Clients prior Version 15.81.5 allows an authenticated remote session participant to write files to unintended locations on the local file system via file transfer or virtual file clipboard mechanisms.

    Patch

    TeamViewerは、認証済みのリモートセッション参加者が受信側端末の意図しない場所へファイルを書き込み、ユーザー権限でコード実行につなげられる脆弱性「CVE-2026-16444」を修正した問題だ。 問題はTeamViewer Desktop Clientのファイルパス検証不備にあり、ファイル転送機能や仮想ファイルクリップボードで送られるファイル名にパストラバーサル文字列を含めると、本来の保存先以外へファイルを書き込める。 悪意ある実行ファイル、スクリプト、ショートカット、設定ファイルなどを後から利用者や別プロセスが参照する場所へ配置できれば、コード実行につながる可能性がある。攻撃にはTeamViewerセッションへの認証済み参加と利用者の操作が必要である。 影響するのはWindows、macOS、Linux向けFull Client、Host、QuickSupportの15.81.5未満。Windows 7/8向けやTeamViewer 14、13にも影響し、それぞれ修正版が公開された。TeamViewerは実際の悪用や事前の公開を確認していないとしている。 https://cybersecuritynews.com/multiple-teamviewer-vulnerability/

    Post summary

    The article reports that TeamViewer has released a patch for CVE-2026-16444, a path‑traversal flaw that lets an authenticated remote session participant write files to unintended locations. No real‑world exploitation has been observed—or confirmed—yet.

    CVE-2026-16444 — Vulnerability Details Improper neutralization of path traversal sequences in TeamViewer Desktop Clients prior to version 15.81.5 may allow an authenticated remote session participant to write files to unintended locations on the local file system through file transfer or virtual file clipboard mechanisms. An attacker could potentially leverage this behavior for arbitrary file writes and code execution with the privileges of the affected user. Recommended actions: ✅ Update TeamViewer Desktop Clients to version 15.81.5 or later ✅ Limit remote session file transfer and clipboard permissions where possible ✅ Review remote access policies and session logs ✅ Monitor endpoints for unusual file write activity ✅ Apply least-privilege access controls for users and support sessions Remote access tools are essential—but they must be secured, monitored, and updated.
