Description
A Path Traversal vulnerability exists in Quick.CMS through the URI path component of HTTP requests, where the server fails to normalize dot-dot-slash (../) sequences before resolving and serving the requested file. An authenticated attacker with admin privileges can use this vulnerability to read contents of files located in the sibling directory of the webroot via a crafted HTTP request containing ../ sequences in the URI.


The vendor assessed the likelihood of exploitation as very low and determined that a fix is not necessary.

AI Analysis

Impact

A path traversal flaw in the web root URI component allows an authenticated user with admin privileges to request files located outside the web directory by including dot-dot-slash sequences. This flaw enables the reading of arbitrary files and can expose confidential information. The weakness matches CWE-23 and carries a CVSS score of 5.1, indicating moderate severity.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability is present in OpenSolution Quick.CMS. No specific version range is listed, so any deployment of Quick.CMS should be considered potentially affected until vendor advisories provide further detail.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score of less than 1% signals that exploitation is expected to be rare, and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers must already possess administrative credentials, limiting the reach. Given the moderate CVSS score and low exploitation probability, the overall risk is moderate but unlikely to be observed in the wild.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Limit administrative access to trusted personnel only.
  • Configure the web server or application to normalize and validate all URL paths before file resolution to eliminate dot-dot-slash traversal.
  • Set up monitoring of access logs for suspicious '../' sequences and investigate anomalies promptly.
