Attack Vector: Adjacent
Attack Complexity: Low
Attack Requirements: None
Privileges Required: Low
User Interaction: None
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low
Vulnerable system integrity: None
Vulnerable system availability: None
Subsequent system confidentiality: None
Subsequent system integrity: None
Subsequent system availability: None

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

Attack Vector: Adjacent: The vulnerable system is bound to a protocol stack, but the attack is limited at the protocol level to a logically adjacent topology. This can mean an attack must be launched from the same shared proximity (e.g., Bluetooth, NFC, or IEEE 802.11) or logical network (e.g., local IP subnet), or from within a secure or otherwise limited administrative domain (e.g., MPLS, secure VPN within an administrative network zone).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system 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 Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 19 Jun 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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 2026-10-26.

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.

AI-suggested

1. Immediate upgrade to xataio Xata Agent version 0.3.1, which contains the official patch addressing the path traversal vulnerability. 2. Implement strict network segmentation to limit access to the Xata Agent service, ensuring it is not exposed beyond trusted internal networks. 3. Employ application-layer filtering or web application firewalls (WAFs) capable of detecting and blocking path traversal attempts targeting the vulnerable GET endpoint. 4. Conduct regular audits of file system permissions and access controls on servers running the Xata Agent to minimize the impact of any unauthorized file access. 5. Monitor logs for unusual GET requests containing suspicious path traversal patterns (e.g., '../' sequences) to detect attempted exploitation. 6. Restrict privileges of the Xata Agent service account to the minimum necessary, reducing the scope of accessible files in case of compromise. 7. Integrate vulnerability scanning and patch management processes to ensure timely updates of the Xata Agent and related components. These measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on network-level controls, monitoring, and privilege restrictions tailored to the specific vulnerability context.

Description

A vulnerability was found in xataio Xata Agent up to 0.3.0. It has been classified as problematic. This affects the function GET of the file apps/dbagent/src/app/api/evals/route.ts. The manipulation of the argument passed leads to path traversal. Upgrading to version 0.3.1 is able to address this issue. The patch is named 03f27055e0cf5d4fa7e874d34ce8c74c7b9086cc. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-6283 depends largely on the deployment scale and criticality of the xataio Xata Agent within their infrastructure. Since the vulnerability allows path traversal, attackers could potentially access sensitive files, including configuration files or database credentials, which could lead to further compromise or data leakage. However, the requirement for adjacent network access and low privileges limits the attack surface to internal or segmented networks rather than open internet exposure. Organizations in sectors with stringent data protection requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and government, could face compliance risks if sensitive data is exposed. Additionally, organizations relying on Xata Agent for database management or monitoring may experience operational risks if attackers leverage this vulnerability to gather intelligence or prepare for subsequent attacks. The absence of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially as threat actors may develop exploits post-disclosure. Overall, the vulnerability poses a moderate risk that could escalate if combined with other vulnerabilities or misconfigurations.
