| CVE-2026-2464 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.01 | Feb 18, 2026 | Path traversal vulnerability in the AMR Printer Management 1.01 Beta web service, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the underlying Windows system by using specially crafted path traversal sequences in requests directed to the web management service. The service is accessible without authentication and runs with elevated privileges, amplifying the impact of the vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this condition to access sensitive and privileged files on the system using path traversal payloads. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to the unauthorized disclosure of internal system information, compromising the confidentiality of the affected environment. | |
| CVE-2025-12062 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Feb 17, 2026 | The WP Maps – Store Locator,Google Maps,OpenStreetMap,Mapbox,Listing,Directory & Filters plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.6 via the fc_load_template function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .html files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .html file types can be uploaded and included. | |
| CVE-2026-1523 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.00 | Feb 5, 2026 | Path Traversal vulnerability in Digitek ADT1100 and Digitek DT950 from PRIMION DIGITEK, S.L.U (Azkoyen Group). This vulnerability allows an attacker to access arbitrary files in the server's file system, thet is, 'http://<host>/..%2F..% 2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fetc%2Fpasswd'. By manipulating the input to include URL encoded directory traversal sequences (e.g., %2F representing /), an attacker can bypass the input validation mechanisms ans retrieve sensitive files outside the intended directory, which could lead to information disclosure or further system compromise. | |
| CVE-2025-65077 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.00 | Feb 3, 2026 | A relative path traversal vulnerability has been identified in the Embedded Solutions Framework in various Lexmark devices. This vulnerability can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code as an unprivileged user. | |
| CVE-2025-66428 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Jan 22, 2026 | An issue with WordPress directory names in WebPros WordPress Toolkit before 6.9.1 allows privilege escalation. | |
| CVE-2025-14997 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.01 | Jan 6, 2026 | The BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'delete_field' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.8. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). | |
| CVE-2019-25246 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Dec 24, 2025 | Beward N100 H.264 VGA IP Camera M2.1.6 contains an authenticated file disclosure vulnerability that allows attackers to read arbitrary system files via the 'READ.filePath' parameter. Attackers can exploit the fileread script or SendCGICMD API to access sensitive files like /etc/passwd and /etc/issue by supplying absolute file paths. | |
| CVE-2025-34181 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.01 | Dec 15, 2025 | NetSupport Manager < 14.12.0001 contains an arbitrary file write vulnerability in its Connectivity Server/Gateway PUTFILE request handler. An attacker with a valid Gateway Key can supply a crafted filename containing directory traversal sequences to write files to arbitrary locations on the server. This can be leveraged to place attacker-controlled DLLs or executables in privileged paths and achieve remote code execution in the context of the NetSupport Manager connectivity service. | |
| CVE-2025-12824 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Dec 12, 2025 | The Player Leaderboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2 via the 'player_leaderboard' shortcode. This is due to the plugin using an unsanitized user-supplied value from the shortcode's 'mode' attribute in a call to include() without proper path validation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve full remote code execution if combined with file upload capabilities. | |
| CVE-2024-58310 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.00 | Dec 11, 2025 | APC Network Management Card 4 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive system files by manipulating URL parameters. Attackers can exploit directory traversal techniques to read critical system files like /etc/passwd by using encoded path traversal characters in HTTP requests. | |
| CVE-2025-65952 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.00 | Nov 25, 2025 | Console is a network used to control Gorilla Tag mods' users and other users on the network. Prior to version 2.8.0, a path traversal vulnerability exists where complicated combinations of backslashes and periods can be used to escape the Gorilla Tag path and write to unwanted directories. This issue has been patched in version 2.8.0. | |
| CVE-2025-34350 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.00 | Nov 25, 2025 | UnForm Server versions < 10.1.15 contain an unauthenticated arbitrary file read and SMB coercion vulnerability in the Doc Flow feature’s 'arc' endpoint. The Doc Flow module uses the 'arc' handler to retrieve and render pages or resources specified by the user-supplied 'pp' parameter, but it does so without enforcing authentication or restricting path inputs. As a result, an unauthenticated remote attacker can supply local filesystem paths to read arbitrary files accessible to the service account. On Windows deployments, providing a UNC path can also coerce the server into initiating outbound SMB authentication, potentially exposing NTLM credentials for offline cracking or relay. This issue may lead to sensitive information disclosure and, in some environments, enable further lateral movement. | |
| CVE-2023-7327 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.01 | Nov 12, 2025 | Ozeki SMS Gateway versions up to and including 10.3.208 contain a path traversal vulnerability. Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to use URL-encoded traversal sequences to read arbitrary files from the underlying filesystem with the privileges of the gateway service, leading to disclosure of sensitive information. | |
| CVE-2022-4982 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.00 | Nov 12, 2025 | DBLTek GoIP-1 firmware versions up to and including GHSFVT-1.1-67-5 contain a local file inclusion vulnerability. The device's web server exposes handlers (`frame.html` and `frame.A100.html`) that accept a path parameter (`content` or `sidebar`) which is not properly validated or canonicalized. An attacker can supply directory-traversal sequences to cause the server to read and return arbitrary filesystem files that the webserver user can access. Other GoIP models and firmware versions are likely affected. Exploitation evidence was observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2024-03-21 UTC. | |
| CVE-2021-4463 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.00 | Nov 12, 2025 | Longjing Technology BEMS API versions up to and including 1.21 contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file download vulnerability in the 'downloads' endpoint. The 'fileName' parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to craft traversal sequences and access sensitive files outside the intended directory. | |
| CVE-2016-15055 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.01 | Nov 12, 2025 | JVC VN-T IP-camera models firmware versions up to 2016-08-22 (confirmed on the VN-T216VPRU model) contain a directory traversal vulnerability in the checkcgi endpoint that accepts a user-controlled file parameter. An unauthenticated remote attacker can leverage this vulnerability to read arbitrary files on the device. | |
| CVE-2018-25124 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.01 | Nov 10, 2025 | PacsOne Server version 6.6.2 (prior versions are likely affected) contains a directory traversal vulnerability within the web-based DICOM viewer component. Successful exploitation allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files via the 'nocache.php' endpoint with a crafted 'path' parameter.

| CVE-2025-11746 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Oct 15, 2025 | The XStore theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 9.5.4 via theet_ajax_required_plugins_popup() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included. | |
| CVE-2024-13991 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.01 | Oct 15, 2025 | Huijietong Cloud Video Platform contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker can supply arbitrary file paths to the `fullPath` parameter of the `/fileDownload?action=downloadBackupFile` endpoint and retrieve files from the server filesystem. VulnCheck has observed this vulnerability being exploited in the wild. | |
