Directory traversal vulnerability in RealPlayer 10.5 (6.0.12.1040) and earlier allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files via a Real Metadata Packages (RMP) file with a FILENAME tag containing .. (dot dot) sequences in a filename that ends with a ? (question mark) and an allowed file extension (e.g. .mp3), which bypasses the check for the file extension.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old RealPlayer flaw where opening a malicious Real Metadata Packages file could let an attacker delete files outside the intended media folder. The issue affects RealPlayer 10.5 version 6.0.12.1040 and earlier. There is no source evidence here of active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to legacy endpoints that still have affected RealPlayer versions installed and can open attacker-supplied RMP or related media package content. Modern standard builds are unlikely to include this software, but unmanaged archives, kiosks, lab machines, or legacy desktops should be checked. Treat this as a legacy software hygiene issue unless affected RealPlayer installations are found. If present on business systems, prioritize removal or update because a user opening crafted media content could cause destructive file loss. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for RealPlayer 10.5 6.0.12.1040 or earlier.; Apply the RealNetworks security update referenced by vendor advisories where available.; Remove RealPlayer from systems that do not require it..
