CVE-2025-34126: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in RIPS Technologies RIPS Scanner
A path traversal vulnerability exists in RIPS Scanner version 0.54. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the system with the privileges of the web server by sending crafted HTTP GET requests to the 'windows/code.php' script with a manipulated 'file' parameter. This can lead to disclosure of sensitive information.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-34126 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in RIPS Technologies' RIPS Scanner version 0.54. The issue exists in the windows/code.php script, where insufficient validation of the 'file' parameter allows remote attackers to traverse directories and read arbitrary files on the server. This occurs without requiring authentication and can disclose sensitive information accessible by the web server process.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the affected system with the privileges of the web server. This can lead to disclosure of sensitive information, potentially compromising confidentiality of data stored on the server.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. Until a fix is released, restricting access to the vulnerable script and limiting web server privileges may reduce risk, but no definitive mitigation is provided by the vendor at this time.
