NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nagvis package and not the nagvis package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Manage Backgrounds functionality within NagVis versions prior to 1.9.29 is vulnerable to an authenticated path traversal vulnerability. Exploitation of this results in a malicious actor having the ability to arbitrarily delete files on the local system.
