Golem OEE MES: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory
CVE-2026-8464 is a high-severity improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory vulnerability in Golem OEE MES from Neuron Soft, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.3 out of 10. It can be exploited from the same local network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 11.6.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating Golem OEE MES to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.2% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Golem OEE MES to 11.6.0 or a later version.
Affected products and versions

Official description
Golem OEE MES is vulnerable to an unauthenticated path traversal flaw. This vulnerability allows an attacker in the same local network to read arbitrary files from the server's operating system by manipulating HTTP request paths. This issue has been fixed in version 11.6.0

The underlying weakness: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks entirely. Then, these modified values would be submitted to the server.
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- Use an application firewall that can detect attacks against this weakness. It can be beneficial in cases in which the code cannot be fixed (because it is controlled by a third party), as an emergency prevention measure while more comprehensive software assurance measures are applied, or to provide defense in depth.
