CWE-22
Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Description
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.

| CVE-2025-9918 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.01 | Sep 11, 2025 | A Path Traversal vulnerability in the archive extraction component in Google SecOps SOAR Server (versions 6.3.54.0, 6.3.53.2, and all prior versions) allows an authenticated attacker with permissions to import Use Cases to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) via uploading a malicious ZIP archive containing path traversal sequences. | |
| CVE-2025-41714 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.01 | Sep 10, 2025 | The upload endpoint insufficiently validates the 'Upload-Key' request header. By supplying path traversal sequences, an authenticated attacker can cause the server to create upload-related artifacts outside the intended storage location. In certain configurations this enables arbitrary file write and may be leveraged to achieve remote code execution. | |
| CVE-2024-13982 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.03 | Aug 27, 2025 | SPON IP Network Broadcast System, a digital audio transmission platform developed by SPON Communications, contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the rj_get_token.php endpoint. The flaw arises from insufficient input validation on the jsondata[url] parameter, which allows attackers to perform directory traversal and access sensitive files on the server. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted POST request to read arbitrary files, potentially exposing system configuration, credentials, or internal logic. An affected version range is undefined. | |
| CVE-2025-8141 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.01 | Aug 20, 2025 | The Redirection for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete_associated_files function in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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-2025-3671 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.00 | Aug 16, 2025 | The WPGYM - Wordpress Gym Management System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 67.7.0 via the 'page' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary 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 images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included. The Local File Inclusion exploit can be chained to include various dashboard view files in the plugin. One in particular reported by the researcher can be leveraged to update the password of Super Administrator accounts in Multisite environments making privilege escalation possible. | |

This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary 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 images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included. The Local File Inclusion exploit can be chained to include various dashboard view files in the plugin. One such chain can be leveraged to update the password of Super Administrator accounts in Multisite environments making privilege escalation possible. The vendor has updated the version numbers beginning with `1.93.1 (02-07-2025)` for the patched version. This version comes after version 93.1.0. | |
| CVE-2025-2932 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.03 | Jul 3, 2025 | The JKDEVKIT plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'font_upload_handler' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.4. 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). If WooCommerce is enabled, attackers will need Contributor-level access and above. | |
| CVE-2025-5014 | Hig | 0.57 | 8.8 | 0.03 | Jul 2, 2025 | The Home Villas | Real Estate WordPress Theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the 'wp_rem_cs_widget_file_delete' function in all versions up to, and including, 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-2025-34058 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.03 | Jul 1, 2025 | Hikvision Streaming Media Management Server v2.3.5 uses default credentials that allow remote attackers to authenticate and access restricted functionality. After authenticating with these credentials, an attacker can exploit an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the /systemLog/downFile.php endpoint via directory traversal in the fileName parameter. This exploit chain can enable unauthorized access to sensitive system files. | |
| CVE-2025-34048 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.01 | Jun 26, 2025 | A path traversal vulnerability exists in the web management interface of D-Link DSL-2730U, DSL-2750U, and DSL-2750E ADSL routers with firmware versions IN_1.02, SEA_1.04, and SEA_1.07. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input validation on the getpage parameter within the /cgi-bin/webproc CGI script. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to perform path traversal attacks by supplying crafted requests, enabling arbitrary file read on the affected device. Exploitation evidence was observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2025-02-04 UTC. | |
| CVE-2025-34047 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.02 | Jun 26, 2025 | A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Leadsec SSL VPN (formerly Lenovo NetGuard), allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the underlying system via the ostype parameter in the /vpn/user/download/client endpoint. This flaw arises from insufficient input sanitation, enabling traversal sequences to escape the intended directory and access sensitive files. Exploitation evidence was observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2025-02-05 UTC. | |
| CVE-2025-40629 | Hig | 0.57 | — | 0.02 | May 16, 2025 | PNETLab 4.2.10 does not properly sanitize user inputs in its file access mechanisms.
