Description
dataCycle is a data management system for centrally storing, managing, searching, finding, and distributing data. In dataCycle-CORE, the module handling core processing and framework rules, before and including version 25.07.3, anyone with a DataLink UUID can fetch the attached text file directly, even if the link is expired, the caller is unauthenticated, or the normal show flow would have denied access. Because the route is public and the mailer embeds the direct file URL, any leaked, forwarded, logged, or stale email link can continue to expose the attachment.

AI Analysis

Impact

dataCycle-CORE contains a public endpoint that serves attached text files directly when a DataLink UUID is supplied. The system does not enforce expiration or authentication checks, meaning any user who knows or guesses a UUID can download the file regardless of the link’s intended validity, the user’s authentication status, or the normal access control flow. As a result, confidential or restricted data can be disclosed to unauthorized parties, potentially violating privacy and data protection policies.

Affected Systems

The affected product is dataCycle-CORE from datacycle-engine. Versions up to and including 25.07.3 are impacted; all releases thereafter incorporate the fix referenced in the vendor advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 reflects a high severity vulnerability with medium to high exploitation potential. The EPSS value is unavailable, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, though the public nature of the endpoint makes it readily exploitable over the network. The likely attack vector is remote, involving an unauthenticated HTTP request to the exposed file URL; an attacker could obtain the UUID from leaked emails, forwarded messages, or logs. Whether the link is expired or access is normally denied does not prevent data retrieval, so the risk persists until the patch is applied.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade dataCycle-CORE to version 25.07.4 or newer, where the public file download endpoint enforces authentication and expiration checks.
  • If upgrading immediately is not possible, block outbound traffic to the DataLink file URL via firewall or reverse proxy, limiting access to trusted internal networks only.
  • Configure the application to invalidate DataLink UUIDs after expiration and enforce proper permission checks for all file access requests.
