Container suse/manager/4.3/proxy-httpd:latest: Path Traversal: '.../...//'
CVE-2025-53880 is a high-severity path traversal: '.../...//' vulnerability in Container suse/manager/4.3/proxy-httpd:latest from SUSE, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7 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 4.3.11-150400.3.15.3 as the first without the flaw, so updating Container suse/manager/4.3/proxy-httpd:latest to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.29% 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 Container suse/manager/4.3/proxy-httpd:latest to 4.3.11-150400.3.15.3 or a later version.
- Update Container suse/manager/5.0/x86_64/proxy-httpd:latest to 5.0.3-150600.3.6.4 or a later version.
- Update Container suse/multi-linux-manager/5.1/x86_64/proxy-httpd:latest to 5.1.3-150700.3.3.3 or a later version.

Official description
A Path Traversal vulnerability in the tftpsync/add and tftpsync/delete scripts allows a remote attacker on an adjacent network to write or delete files on the filesystem with the privileges of the unprivileged wwwrun user. Although the endpoint is unauthenticated, access is restricted to a list of allowed IP addresses.

The underlying weakness: Path Traversal: '.../...//'
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize '.../...//' (doubled triple dot slash) sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist validation schemes by introducing dangerous inputs after they have been checked.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: no, technical impact: total).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
