How this vulnerability can be exploited
This issue can be reached from an adjacent network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality low, integrity low, availability low.
CVSS metrics in full
The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L
- Attack vector: Adjacent network — the attacker has to sit on the same local or logical network.
- Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
- Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
- User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
- Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
- Confidentiality impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
- Integrity impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
- Availability impact: Low — limited, and the attacker does not choose what is affected.
Weakness class
CVE-2024-7458 is classified as CWE-27: Path Traversal: 'dir/../../filename'. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize multiple internal "../" sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
Affected software
