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: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
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.

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

1. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all file path parameters to prevent directory traversal sequences (e.g., '../'). 2. Enforce robust access controls to ensure authenticated users can only access authorized directories and files. 3. Employ application-layer filtering or web application firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block path traversal attempts. 4. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing focusing on file handling functions within the QOCA aim platform. 5. Monitor logs for unusual access patterns or attempts to access unauthorized directories. 6. If patches become available, prioritize their deployment in production environments. 7. Limit user privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce the impact of compromised accounts. 8. Engage with Quanta Computer support or security advisories for updates or recommended fixes. 9. Consider network segmentation to isolate the medical cloud platform from broader enterprise networks to limit lateral movement.

Description

CVE-2025-15237 is an Absolute Path Traversal vulnerability in the QOCA aim AI Medical Cloud Platform by Quanta Computer. It allows authenticated remote attackers to read folder names under arbitrary paths by exploiting improper input validation. The vulnerability requires low attack complexity and no user interaction but does require authentication with low privileges. The CVSS 4.0 score is 5.3, indicating medium severity. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild. This flaw could expose sensitive directory structure information, potentially aiding further attacks. European healthcare organizations using this platform could be at risk, especially those with deployments of QOCA aim. Mitigation involves implementing strict input validation and access controls on file path parameters.

Impact

For European organizations, particularly those in the healthcare sector using the QOCA aim AI Medical Cloud Platform, this vulnerability poses a risk of information disclosure regarding the server's directory structure. While it does not directly compromise patient data or system integrity, the leaked folder names could reveal sensitive system configurations or data storage locations, aiding attackers in crafting more effective attacks such as privilege escalation or data exfiltration. The healthcare sector is highly regulated in Europe, with strict data protection laws like GDPR, so any vulnerability that could lead to data breaches or unauthorized access is critical to address. Additionally, disruption or compromise of AI medical platforms could impact patient care services. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate risk, but the potential cascading effects in a sensitive environment elevate the importance of timely mitigation.

CWE-36Absolute Path Traversal (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessOWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize absolute path sequences such as "/abs/path" 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).
Operation · Firewall
Use an application firewall that can detect attacks against this weakness. It can be beneficial in cases in which the code cannot be fixed (because it is controlled by a third party), as an emergency prevention measure while more comprehensive software assurance measures are applied, or to provide defense in depth.
