Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVE-2025-54963

Medium
6.5/10

Summary

An issue was discovered in BAE SOCET GXP before 4.6.0.2. An attacker with the ability to interact with the GXP Job Service may submit a crafted job request that grants read access to files on the filesystem with the permissions of the GXP Job Service process. The path to a file is not sanitized for directory traversal, potentially allowing an attacker to read sensitive files in some configurations.

CWE-22 - Path Traversal

Path traversal (or directory traversal), is a vulnerability that allows malicious users to traverse the server's root directory, gaining access to arbitrary files and folders such as application code & data, back-end credentials, and sensitive operating system files. In the worst-case scenario, an attacker could potentially execute arbitrary files on the server, resulting in a denial of service attack. Such an exploit may severely impact the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of an application.
