CVE-2026-76796: Newell Brands DYMO Connect Desktop improper file path validation

• Severity: medium (CVSS 4.0 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-09-15 · updated 2026-09-22
• Weakness: CWE-73

Description

The LoadImageAsPngBase64 endpoint of the Newell Brands DYMO Connect Desktop local web service accepts a file path parameter without adequate validation, allowing a crafted path to read arbitrary image files from the host filesystem outside the intended scope. Fixed in 1.6.2. The fix limits access by file extension only, not by directory - arbitrary-location reads of files with an allowed image extension remain possible by design (accepted residual risk).

Affected products

• Newell Brands DYMO Connect Desktop: before 1.6.2 — fixed in 1.6.2

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Newell Brands DYMO Connect Desktop 1.6.2. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
