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 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

1. Immediate patching: Organizations should monitor Jeecgboot vendor announcements and apply patches or updates as soon as they become available to fix this vulnerability. 2. Access control: Restrict access to the /sys/comment/addFile endpoint to trusted and authenticated users only, using strong authentication and authorization mechanisms. 3. Input validation: Implement additional server-side validation to ensure uploaded files cannot escape the designated upload directory, including sanitizing file paths and names. 4. File system permissions: Harden file system permissions on the /opt directory to prevent unauthorized write access by the web server process or application user. 5. Web application firewall (WAF): Deploy WAF rules to detect and block suspicious file upload attempts or path traversal patterns targeting this endpoint. 6. Monitoring and logging: Enable detailed logging of file upload activities and monitor for anomalous behavior or unexpected file placements in system directories. 7. Network segmentation: Isolate systems running Jeecgboot applications to limit potential lateral movement if compromise occurs. 8. Incident response readiness: Prepare to respond quickly to any signs of exploitation, including forensic analysis and containment procedures.

Description

Jeecgboot versions 3.8.2 and earlier are affected by a path traversal vulnerability. The endpoint is /sys/comment/addFile. 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, particularly those running versions 3.8.2 or earlier, this vulnerability poses a serious risk. Organizations in sectors such as government, finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure that rely on Jeecgboot for web application development or internal tools could face unauthorized access or system compromise. The ability to upload files outside the intended directory can lead to remote code execution or persistent malware installation, potentially resulting in data breaches, service disruption, or lateral movement within networks. Given the strategic importance of data protection under regulations like GDPR, exploitation could also lead to regulatory penalties and reputational damage. The impact is amplified in environments where patch management is slow or where the affected endpoint is exposed to the internet without sufficient access controls. Additionally, the lack of known exploits currently does not eliminate the risk, as threat actors may develop exploits rapidly following public disclosure.

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).
