CVE-2025-15237 is a medium severity vulnerability classified under CWE-36 (Absolute Path Traversal) affecting the QOCA aim AI Medical Cloud Platform developed by Quanta Computer. The vulnerability allows an authenticated remote attacker with low privileges to exploit improper input validation on file path parameters to read folder names outside the intended directory scope. This is achieved by manipulating the file path input to traverse directories, potentially exposing sensitive directory structures. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and no additional privileges beyond authentication (PR:L) required. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality, integrity, or availability directly but can leak directory information (VC:L), which may facilitate further targeted attacks. The vulnerability was published on January 5, 2026, with no known exploits in the wild to date. The absence of patches or official fixes increases the urgency for organizations to implement mitigations. Given the product's role in AI-driven medical cloud services, exposure of directory information could lead to privacy concerns and potential escalation of attacks targeting sensitive healthcare data.

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.

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.
