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-2023-27856 exists.\n\nAffected product: Rockwell Automation ThinManager ThinServer. 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-2023-27856/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27856/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-27856","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27856/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-27856","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9hjj-m2fc-f62r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ThinManager ThinServer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in Rockwell Automation ThinManager ThinServer to download arbitrary files from the server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Rockwell","cpe":[{"product":"thinmanager","vendor":"rockwellautomation"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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":"In affected versions, path traversal exists when processing a message of type 8\n\n in Rockwell Automation's ThinManager ThinServer. \n\nAn unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to download arbitrary files on the disk drive where ThinServer.exe is installed.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2023-04-05","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2023-04-05","kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/gather/thinmanager_traversal_download","stars":null,"title":"ThinManager Path Traversal (CVE-2023-27856) Arbitrary File Download"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Rockwell Automation ThinManager ThinServer Path Traversal Download","id":"CVE-2023-27856","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Rockwell Automation ThinManager ThinServer Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2023-27857"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Rockwell Automation ThinManager ThinServer Path Traversal Upload","id":"CVE-2023-27855"},"products":["ThinManager ThinServer"],"published":"2023-03-21","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Rockwell Automation ThinManager ThinServer Path Traversal Upload","id":"CVE-2023-27855","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-21"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk ThinManager Authentication Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-10386","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-25"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Rockwell Automation ThinManager® ThinServer™ Improper Input Validation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-5988","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-25"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Rockwell Automation ThinManager® ThinServer™ Improper Input Validation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-5989","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk ThinManager Denial-of-Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-10387","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-25"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"ThinManager® ThinServer™ Improper Input Validation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-5990","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Rockwell Automation ThinManager® Server-Side Request Forgery Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-9065","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-09"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-25","vendors":["Rockwell Automation"]},"summary":"An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in Rockwell Automation ThinManager ThinServer to download arbitrary files from the server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-27856/"}
