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-2025-11965 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- io.vertx:vertx-web (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 4.5.22\n- io.vertx:vertx-web (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 4.5.22\n- io.vertx:vertx-web (Maven): affected from 5.0.0; fixed in 5.0.5\n- io.vertx:vertx-web (Maven): affected from 5.0.0; fixed in 5.0.5\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-2025-11965/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-11965/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-11965","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-11965/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-11965","record":{"aliases":["CLEANSTART-2026-HQ10523","CLEANSTART-2026-NB67850","CLEANSTART-2026-WF23391","ECHO-7ccb-ff37-0c34","GHSA-h5fg-jpgr-rv9c","MINI-5x3w-gv5r-ggw3","MINI-fwfv-365v-89gm","MINI-gp3g-92jx-7w3j","MINI-gwwc-hx57-h6p3","MINI-jf59-v72v-x246","MINI-wfcf-mhc3-vxrx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Java web framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can access files in hidden directories like .git/config if StaticHandler is configured to block hidden files but not directories.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"eclipse","cpe":[{"product":"vert.x","vendor":"eclipse"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-552","name":"Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties"}],"description":"In Eclipse Vert.x versions [4.0.0, 4.5.21] and [5.0.0, 5.0.4], a StaticHandler configuration for restricting access to hidden files fails to restrict access to hidden directories, allowing unauthorized users to retrieve files within them (e.g. '.git/config').","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Vert.x-Web Access Control Flaw in StaticHandler’s Hidden File Protection for Files Under Hidden Directories","id":"CVE-2025-11965","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Vert.x-Web vulnerable to Stored Cross-site Scripting in directory listings via file names","id":"CVE-2025-11966"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["4.5.22"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"io.vertx:vertx-web","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-h5fg-jpgr-rv9c"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["4.5.22"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"io.vertx:vertx-web","purl":"pkg:maven/io.vertx/vertx-web","source":"GHSA-h5fg-jpgr-rv9c"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["5.0.5"],"introduced":["5.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"io.vertx:vertx-web","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-h5fg-jpgr-rv9c"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["5.0.5"],"introduced":["5.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"io.vertx:vertx-web","purl":"pkg:maven/io.vertx/vertx-web","source":"GHSA-h5fg-jpgr-rv9c"}],"prev":{"headline":"OOBW in utf_16le_to_utf_8_truncated() in libpcap","id":"CVE-2025-11964"},"products":["Vert.x"],"published":"2025-10-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path Traversal in Eclipse Vert","id":"CVE-2019-17640","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Eclipse Vert.x does not properly neutralize '' (forward slashes) sequences that can resolve to an external location","id":"CVE-2018-12542","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Moderate severity vulnerability that affects io.vertx:vertx-core","id":"CVE-2018-12544","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-10"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Deserialization in Eclipse Vert.x","id":"CVE-2026-102469","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"High severity vulnerability that affects io.vertx:vertx-web","id":"CVE-2018-12540","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-12"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Denial of service in Eclipse Vert.x","id":"CVE-2026-102461","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-15"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Denial of service in Eclipse Vert.x","id":"CVE-2026-102467","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-15"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-22","vendors":["Eclipse Foundation"]},"summary":"Attackers can access files in hidden directories like .git/config if StaticHandler is configured to block hidden files but not directories.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-11965/"}
