An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2019-9960 exists.\n\nAffected product: Limesurvey Limesurvey. 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-2019-9960/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-9960/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-9960","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-9960/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-9960","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qc3p-q4r9-f58r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LimeSurvey","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can exploit a relative path vulnerability in the export function 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":"limesurvey","vendor":"limesurvey"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"The downloadZip function in application/controllers/admin/export.php in LimeSurvey through 3.16.1+190225 allows a relative path.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2020-04-02","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2020-04-02","kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/scanner/http/limesurvey_zip_traversals","stars":null,"title":"LimeSurvey Zip Path Traversals"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9960","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"limesurvey:limesurvey","products":["limesurvey:limesurvey"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9961"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9959"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-03-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-56422","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-48008","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-25019","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11455","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-16184","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"TCPDF vulnerable to attackers triggering deserialization of arbitrary data","id":"CVE-2018-17057","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-14"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit a relative path vulnerability in the export function to read arbitrary files from the server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-9960/"}
