An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-52056 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Wowza Streaming Engine. 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-2024-52056/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-52056/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-52056","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-52056/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-52056","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-84j6-9f5r-c6v4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Wowza Streaming Engine","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An administrator can delete arbitrary directories on the file system via path traversal in the Manager component.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"rapid7","cpe":[{"product":"streaming_engine","vendor":"wowza"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:L","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Path Traversal in the Manager component of Wowza Streaming Engine below 4.9.1 allows an administrator user to delete any directory on the file system if the target directory contains an XML definition file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Application Delete Path Traversal in Wowza Streaming Engine","id":"CVE-2024-52056","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in Connext Professional","id":"CVE-2024-52057"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Application Copy Path Traversal in Wowza Streaming Engine","id":"CVE-2024-52055"},"products":["Streaming Engine"],"published":"2024-11-21","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-7047","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-01"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Stream Target Remote Code Execution in Wowza Streaming Engine","id":"CVE-2024-52052","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-21"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-19365","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-18"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-9004","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-14"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Wowza Streaming Engine 4.5.0 Privilege Escalation via user edit","id":"CVE-2016-20034","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-15"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Stored Cross-Site Scripting in Wowza Streaming Engine","id":"CVE-2024-52053","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-21"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Wowza Streaming Engine 4.5.0 Local Privilege Escalation via nssm_x64.exe","id":"CVE-2016-20033","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-15"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-11-21","vendors":["Wowza"]},"summary":"An administrator can delete arbitrary directories on the file system via path traversal in the Manager component.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-52056/"}
