Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2015-9538 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-9538/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-9538/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-9538","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-9538/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-9538","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-79vh-xfm8-gxmr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit directory traversal in the NextGEN Gallery plugin to read arbitrary files from the server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"nextgen_gallery","vendor":"imagely"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"The NextGEN Gallery plugin before 2.1.15 for WordPress allows ../ Directory Traversal in path selection.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/scanner/http/wp_nextgen_galley_file_read","stars":null,"title":"WordPress NextGEN Gallery Directory Read Vulnerability"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-9538","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-9539"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-9537"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-11-26","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3684","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-14314","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10889","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"File upload in nextgen-gallery","id":"CVE-2015-1784","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-07"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35942","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-9228","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-12"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"NextGEN Gallery \u003c 3.39 - Admin+ PHAR Deserialization","id":"CVE-2023-3154","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-16"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit directory traversal in the NextGEN Gallery plugin to read arbitrary files from the server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-9538/"}
