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: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
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: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
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: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

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

To mitigate CVE-2025-6793 effectively, European organizations should take the following specific actions: 1) Immediately identify and inventory all instances of Marvell QConvergeConsole version 5.5.0.78 within their environment. 2) Apply any available patches or updates from Marvell as soon as they are released; if patches are not yet available, consider temporary compensating controls such as network segmentation to isolate affected systems from untrusted networks. 3) Implement strict access controls and firewall rules to restrict external access to the QConvergeConsole management interfaces, limiting exposure to trusted internal networks only. 4) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) or Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) with custom rules to detect and block path traversal attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoints. 5) Conduct thorough monitoring and logging of file operations and access patterns on systems running QConvergeConsole to detect anomalous activities indicative of exploitation attempts. 6) Educate IT and security teams about the vulnerability and ensure incident response plans are updated to address potential exploitation scenarios. 7) Consider deploying endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions capable of detecting unauthorized file deletions or access to sensitive files. 8) Regularly review and harden configurations of the QConvergeConsole to minimize attack surface, including disabling unnecessary services or features that could be exploited.

Description

Marvell QConvergeConsole QLogicDownloadImpl Directory Traversal Arbitrary File Deletion and Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to delete arbitrary files and disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Marvell QConvergeConsole. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the QLogicDownloadImpl class. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to delete files and disclose information in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-24912.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-6793 can be substantial, especially for those relying on Marvell QConvergeConsole for network management and infrastructure operations. The ability for an unauthenticated remote attacker to delete arbitrary files can lead to service outages, loss of critical configuration files, or disruption of network operations, which can affect business continuity. The information disclosure aspect can expose sensitive configuration data, credentials, or proprietary information, increasing the risk of further targeted attacks or data breaches. Given that the vulnerability executes with SYSTEM privileges, the attacker could potentially pivot to other parts of the network or escalate attacks, compounding the damage. This is particularly concerning for sectors with stringent data protection requirements such as finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure within Europe, where regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR) mandates strong security controls. Additionally, the lack of authentication requirement lowers the barrier for exploitation, increasing the likelihood of widespread attacks if the vulnerability is weaponized. Organizations may face reputational damage, financial penalties, and operational disruptions if this vulnerability is exploited successfully.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #6OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted 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.
Architecture and Design
For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks…
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).
