Official description
Wertheim SafeController Software, AssemblyVersion 6.15.8328.28014, contains a path traversal vulnerability in the documentName parameter of the /safe/selfservice/openselfservicedocument endpoint. The application constructs a file path using attacker-controlled input without sufficient validation, allowing an authenticated attacker with any role or permission level to traverse out of the intended document directory and download arbitrary files accessible to the application. This includes, but is not limited to, application log files containing sensitive information and application binaries.
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Relative Path Traversal
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize sequences such as.. that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use an application firewall that can detect attacks against this weakness. It can be beneficial in cases in which the code cannot be fixed (because it is controlled by a third party), as an emergency prevention measure while more comprehensive software assurance measures are applied, or to provide defense in depth.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: no, technical impact: partial).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
