An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-34238 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Advantech WebAccess/VPN. 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-2025-34238/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-34238/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-34238","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-34238/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-34238","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mhv6-73gf-63qx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Advantech WebAccess/VPN","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated network administrator can exploit a path traversal vulnerability to read arbitrary files accessible by the web user.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"webaccess\\/vpn","vendor":"advantech"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Advantech WebAccess/VPN versions prior to 1.1.5 contain an absolute path traversal via AjaxStandaloneVpnClientsController.ajaxDownloadRoadWarriorConfigFileAction() that allows an authenticated network administrator to cause the application to read and return the contents of arbitrary files the web user (www-data) can access.","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":"Path traversal in WebAccess/VPN","id":"CVE-2025-34238","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Advantech WebAccess/VPN \u003c 1.1.5 Command Injection in AppManagementController.appUpgradeAction()","id":"CVE-2025-34239"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Advantech WebAccess/VPN \u003c 1.1.5 Stored XSS via StandaloneVpnClientsController.addStandaloneVpnClientAction()","id":"CVE-2025-34237"},"products":["WebAccess/VPN"],"published":"2025-11-06","related":[{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Advantech WebAccess/VPN \u003c 1.1.5 Command Injection in AppManagementController.appUpgradeAction()","id":"CVE-2025-34239","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-06"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Advantech WebAccess/VPN \u003c 1.1.5 SQL Injection via AppManagementController.appUpgradeAction()","id":"CVE-2025-34240","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-06"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Advantech WebAccess/VPN \u003c 1.1.5 SQL Injection via AjaxNetworkController.ajaxAction()","id":"CVE-2025-34242","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-06"},{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Advantech WebAccess/VPN \u003c 1.1.5 Stored XSS via StandaloneVpnClientsController.addStandaloneVpnClientAction()","id":"CVE-2025-34237","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-06"},{"cvss_score":6.2,"headline":"Advantech WebAccess/VPN \u003c 1.1.5 Stored XSS via NetworksController.addNetworkAction()","id":"CVE-2025-34236","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-06"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Advantech WebAccess/VPN \u003c 1.1.5 SQL Injection via AjaxDeviceController.ajaxDeviceAction()","id":"CVE-2025-34241","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-06"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-11-17","vendors":["Advantech"]},"summary":"An authenticated network administrator can exploit a path traversal vulnerability to read arbitrary files accessible by the web user.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-34238/"}
