CVE-2025-7488 is a path traversal vulnerability identified in the JoeyBling SpringBoot_MyBatisPlus product, specifically affecting the Download function accessible via the /file/download endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper validation or sanitization of the 'Name' argument, which an attacker can manipulate to traverse directories on the server's filesystem. This allows unauthorized access to files outside the intended directory scope, potentially exposing sensitive data or system files. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without requiring user interaction or authentication, increasing its risk profile. The product uses continuous delivery with rolling releases, which complicates precise version tracking and patch availability. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, but limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No known exploits are currently observed in the wild, but public disclosure of the exploit code exists, increasing the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The lack of available patches or version details means organizations must rely on mitigations until official fixes are released.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily related to unauthorized data disclosure. Exploitation could lead to exposure of sensitive files such as configuration files, credentials, or proprietary data stored on affected servers. This can result in data breaches, compliance violations (e.g., GDPR), and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability does not directly allow code execution or system takeover, the impact on system integrity and availability is limited. However, attackers could leverage accessed information for further attacks or lateral movement within networks. Organizations running JoeyBling SpringBoot_MyBatisPlus in web-facing environments are particularly at risk. The ease of remote exploitation without authentication increases the threat surface, especially for public-facing applications. The continuous delivery model may delay patch deployment, extending exposure time. Overall, the vulnerability demands prompt attention to prevent data leakage and maintain regulatory compliance in Europe.

1. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on the 'Name' parameter in the /file/download endpoint to prevent directory traversal sequences (e.g., '../'). 2. Employ allowlisting of permissible file names or paths to restrict downloads to authorized files only. 3. Use secure coding practices such as canonicalization of file paths before access to detect and block traversal attempts. 4. Deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting path traversal attack patterns to provide an additional layer of defense. 5. Monitor application logs for suspicious access patterns or attempts to access unauthorized files. 6. Isolate the application environment with minimal file permissions to limit the impact of any successful traversal. 7. Engage with the vendor or community to obtain updates or patches as soon as they become available, given the continuous delivery model. 8. Consider temporary disabling or restricting the /file/download functionality if feasible until a fix is applied. 9. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on file access controls to detect similar vulnerabilities.
