CVE-2024-6445: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in DataFlowX Technology DataDiodeX
CVE-2024-6445 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in DataFlowX Technology's DataDiodeX product affecting versions from 3. 0. 0 up to but not including 3. 1. 7. This vulnerability allows an attacker to improperly limit a pathname to a restricted directory, potentially enabling unauthorized file system access. The CVSS 4. 0 base score is 10. 0, indicating a critical severity with network attack vector, no required privileges or user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability, and security requirements. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided yet by the vendor.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-6445 is a CWE-22 path traversal vulnerability in DataFlowX Technology's DataDiodeX product versions 3.0.0 through before 3.1.7. The vulnerability arises from improper limitation of pathnames to restricted directories, allowing attackers to access unauthorized files or directories. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 score of 10.0, reflecting critical severity with network-based exploitation possible without privileges or user interaction, and severe impacts on confidentiality, integrity, availability, and security. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available, and the product is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on vendor patch releases.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated attacker to perform path traversal attacks, potentially accessing or modifying sensitive files outside intended directories. This could lead to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The critical CVSS score reflects the high impact and ease of exploitation over the network without any required privileges or user interaction.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider restricting network access to the affected DataDiodeX instances and monitor for unusual file access patterns. Do not rely on generic mitigations as the vendor has not provided specific recommendations yet.
