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

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, 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: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
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 impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.

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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should immediately audit their use of Jeecgboot and identify affected versions (3.8.2 and earlier). Until an official patch is released, administrators should implement strict input validation and sanitization on file upload paths to prevent path traversal sequences (e.g., ../). Restrict file upload permissions at the operating system level to prevent writes outside the intended directories, using mechanisms such as chroot jails or containerization. Employ application-level whitelisting of allowed file types and enforce strict directory permissions on /opt and /opt/upFiles to limit unauthorized file placement. Monitoring and alerting for unusual file system changes in critical directories can help detect exploitation attempts early. Additionally, organizations should prepare to deploy patches promptly once available and conduct penetration testing focused on file upload functionalities to identify residual risks. Network segmentation and least privilege principles should be enforced to limit the impact of any successful exploitation.

Description

Jeecgboot versions 3.8.2 and earlier are affected by a path traversal vulnerability. This vulnerability allows attackers to upload files with system-whitelisted extensions to the system directory /opt, instead of the /opt/upFiles directory specified by the web server.

Impact

For European organizations using Jeecgboot, this vulnerability could have severe consequences. Enterprises relying on Jeecgboot for critical business applications may face risks including unauthorized code execution, data tampering, or system compromise. The ability to upload files outside the designated directory could allow attackers to implant backdoors or malware, leading to potential data breaches or service disruptions. This is particularly concerning for sectors with strict regulatory requirements such as finance, healthcare, and government, where data integrity and confidentiality are paramount. Additionally, the compromise of system directories could facilitate lateral movement within corporate networks, increasing the scope of an attack. Given the widespread adoption of Java-based rapid development platforms in Europe, the vulnerability could affect a broad range of organizations, especially those that have not applied recent security updates or lack robust file upload validation controls.

CWE-24Path Traversal: '../filedir' (opens in a new tab)
Variant weakness
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize "../" sequences 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).
