Sounds like a directory traversal to me :)

It's generally a bad idea to have the user in control of filenames you create if those files are not on a device they own.

In this case, it sounds like the files were on a device owned by the user?
The user in control here is the one configuring the SSID, which is not necessarily the same one owning the device used to connect to it.
I guess SCHiM means "own" as in "have administrative control over".
