CVE-2025-60217 identifies a path traversal vulnerability in the PT Luxa Addons developed by ypromo, affecting versions up to and including 1.2.2. Path traversal vulnerabilities occur when an application does not properly sanitize user-supplied input used to construct file paths, allowing attackers to manipulate the pathname to access files outside the intended restricted directory. In this case, the PT Luxa Addons fail to adequately limit pathname inputs, enabling an attacker to traverse directories and potentially read arbitrary files on the server. This could include configuration files, source code, or sensitive data stored on the server. The vulnerability does not require authentication, increasing the attack surface and ease of exploitation. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the flaw is publicly disclosed and could be targeted by attackers. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may not yet be available, emphasizing the need for immediate mitigation strategies. The vulnerability primarily threatens confidentiality and integrity by exposing sensitive information or enabling further attacks that could modify system files. The affected product is typically used in web environments, which may be integrated into broader enterprise systems, increasing the potential impact if exploited.

For European organizations, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive corporate or customer data, intellectual property theft, or exposure of credentials and configuration files that facilitate further compromise. This is particularly critical for sectors handling personal data under GDPR, as breaches could result in regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Additionally, attackers could leverage the access gained through path traversal to implant malware or disrupt services, impacting availability. Organizations relying on PT Luxa Addons for web content management or plugin functionality may face operational disruptions. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation without authentication increases the risk of widespread attacks, especially in environments with internet-facing applications. The impact is magnified in industries such as finance, healthcare, and government, where data sensitivity and regulatory requirements are stringent.

Immediate mitigation should focus on implementing strict input validation and sanitization to prevent malicious pathname inputs. Organizations should restrict file access permissions to the minimum necessary, ensuring the application runs with least privilege to limit the impact of any traversal attempts. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block path traversal patterns. Monitor logs for unusual file access requests and anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. If a patch becomes available, prioritize its deployment after testing. In the interim, consider disabling or isolating the PT Luxa Addons component if feasible. Conduct security audits and code reviews to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Educate development teams on secure coding practices related to file handling. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups to enable recovery in case of compromise.
