Published: 31 March 2026
Summary
CVE-2026-30290 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Intouchapp Intouch Contacts \& Caller Id. Its CVSS base score is 8.4 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203); ranked at the 7.3th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).
Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Validates file paths and contents during the import process to prevent arbitrary overwrites of critical internal files.
Enforces access restrictions to block unauthorized write operations to sensitive internal files via the import mechanism.
Monitors integrity of critical files to identify unauthorized changes from the vulnerable file import process.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Arbitrary file overwrite via path traversal in a client app directly enables local exploitation for code execution (T1203) and facilitates compromising/replacing app binaries or internal files to run attacker-controlled code (T1554).
NVD Description
An arbitrary file overwrite vulnerability in InTouch Contacts & Caller ID APP v6.38.1 allows attackers to overwrite critical internal files via the file import process, leading to arbitrary code execution or information exposure.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2026-30290 is an arbitrary file overwrite vulnerability (CWE-22) in the InTouch Contacts & Caller ID APP version 6.38.1. Published on 2026-03-31T20:16:26.670, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.4 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). The issue enables attackers to overwrite critical internal files through the app's file import process, which can result in arbitrary code execution or information exposure.
A local attacker requires no privileges and can exploit the vulnerability with low attack complexity and no user interaction. By supplying a malicious file during the import process, the attacker can target and overwrite sensitive internal files, achieving high-impact effects on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as executing arbitrary code within the app's context or exposing user data.
