Last modified

CVE-2022-51025 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Penta Security WAPPLES 4.0.54.1, 5.0, and 6.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to download arbitrary files via the name parameter of /webapi/file/transfer. Attackers can send GET requests with type=db_backup and ../ sequences in name to read files like /etc/passwd, and a hardcoded systemi account makes authentication effectively trivial. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
