(Pwn2Own) ICONICS Genesis64 PKGX WbPackAndGoSettings Absolute Path Traversal Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

The vulnerablity allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of ICONICS Genesis64. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the handling of PKGX files. When parsing the WbPackAndGoSettings element, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations.
