Directory Traversal in DataEase Static Resource Controller Exposes Sensitive Files

Published Sep 14, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A directory Traversal vulnerability in DataEase before 1.18.10 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via a a crafted request to the StaticResourceController.java component.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The vulnerability is a directory traversal flaw in DataEase prior to version 1.18.10. A remote attacker can craft a request to StaticResourceController.java to read arbitrary files on the host filesystem, potentially revealing configuration files or other sensitive data. The flaw is classified as CWE‑23.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all installations of DataEase running any version prior to 1.18.10. Users of earlier releases are susceptible to reading arbitrary files from the host operating system through the StaticResourceController endpoint.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates moderate severity. The exploit can be performed via a standard HTTP request. It is inferred that authentication is not required; the description does not mention a need for elevated privileges, so remediation focuses on preventing unauthenticated remote access. The EPSS score of 1% suggests low real‑world exploitation likelihood. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the straightforward attack path still poses a non‑negligible risk to exposed servers.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to DataEase 1.18.10 or later, where the StaticResourceController input validation has been fixed.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, limit external access to the StaticResourceController endpoint by firewall or reverse proxy to allow only trusted hosts.
  • Scan the server for other publicly accessible directories and verify that no other files can be retrieved through the same or similar endpoints.
