Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, 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: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

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 26 Oct 2026.

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

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include restricting network access to the affected platform using firewalls or network segmentation to limit exposure to trusted internal users only. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block path traversal patterns in HTTP requests targeting the vulnerable endpoints. Conduct thorough audits of the platform's file system permissions to minimize accessible sensitive files and ensure the application runs with least privilege. Monitor logs for suspicious access patterns or attempts to exploit the fileName parameter. If possible, consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable download.do endpoint until a patch is available. Organizations should also engage with Four-Faith for updates and consider alternative solutions if remediation is delayed. Regular backups and incident response plans should be reviewed to prepare for potential exploitation scenarios.

Description

A flaw has been found in Four-Faith Water Conservancy Informatization Platform 1.0. This affects an unknown function of the file /sysRole/index.do/../../generalReport/download.do;usrlogout.do.do. Executing manipulation of the argument fileName can lead to path traversal. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations, especially those involved in water resource management, environmental monitoring, or critical infrastructure sectors, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Unauthorized access to sensitive files could expose operational data, system configurations, or credentials, potentially enabling attackers to escalate privileges or disrupt water conservancy operations. Such disruptions could affect water supply management, flood control, or irrigation systems, leading to operational downtime or safety hazards. Additionally, exposure of sensitive data could result in regulatory non-compliance under GDPR if personal or operational data is leaked. The lack of vendor response and the availability of a public exploit increase the likelihood of targeted attacks against organizations using this platform in Europe. Since water conservancy is a critical infrastructure sector, exploitation could have cascading effects on public safety and environmental management.

Summary

CVE-2025-11018 is a path traversal vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Four-Faith Water Conservancy Informatization Platform. The vulnerability arises from improper validation of the 'fileName' argument in a specific endpoint path involving /sysRole/index.do/../../generalReport/download.do;usrlogout.do.do. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to manipulate the fileName parameter to traverse directories outside the intended scope, potentially accessing arbitrary files on the server's filesystem. The vulnerability does not require any privileges or user interaction, making it remotely exploitable over the network. The CVSS v4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and limited impact confined to confidentiality (read access to files). There is no indication that integrity or availability are affected. The vulnerability is specific to version 1.0 of the product, which is used in water conservancy informatization, likely involving critical infrastructure management and monitoring systems. Given the nature of path traversal, attackers could access sensitive configuration files, credentials, or other critical data stored on the server, which could lead to further compromise or information leakage.
