Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately audit their DSShop installations to identify affected versions (2.1.0 through 2.1.5). Until an official patch is released, practical mitigations include: 1) Implement strict input validation and sanitization on the 'member_info' parameter to block path traversal sequences such as '../'. 2) Restrict file system permissions for the web server user to limit access to sensitive directories and files outside the application scope. 3) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block path traversal attempts targeting the vulnerable parameter. 4) Monitor logs for suspicious access patterns or repeated attempts to exploit path traversal. 5) Enforce strong authentication and access controls to reduce the risk of attackers gaining the required privileges to exploit the vulnerability. 6) Isolate the DSShop application environment to minimize potential damage from exploitation. Organizations should also prepare to apply vendor patches promptly once available and consider engaging with DeShang support for interim guidance.

Description

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in DeShang DSShop up to 2.1.5. This affects an unknown part of the file application/home/controller/MemberAuth.php. The manipulation of the argument member_info leads to path traversal: '../filedir'. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier VDB-250437 was assigned to this vulnerability.

Impact

For European organizations using DeShang DSShop, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. The path traversal flaw can allow attackers with limited privileges to access or modify files outside the application directory, potentially leading to data integrity issues or service disruptions. Although confidentiality impact is rated none, the ability to alter files or disrupt availability can affect business operations, especially for e-commerce platforms relying on DSShop for customer management and transactions. This could lead to financial losses, reputational damage, and compliance issues under regulations such as GDPR if personal data is indirectly affected. The remote exploitability increases the risk profile, particularly for organizations with exposed DSShop instances. Since the vulnerability requires some level of authenticated access, insider threats or compromised credentials could be leveraged to exploit this flaw. The absence of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate it, especially as public disclosure may encourage attackers to develop exploits.

CWE-24Path Traversal: '../filedir' (opens in a new tab)
Variant weakness
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize "../" sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Implementation · Input Validation
Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174).
