An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-36598 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell Avamar Virtual Edition. 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-2025-36598/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36598/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-36598","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-36598/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-36598","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fp2x-rmwp-chww"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell Avamar backup appliance","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A high-privileged remote attacker can exploit a path traversal flaw in Dell Avamar to upload malicious files, potentially leading to code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Dell Avamar, versions prior to 19.12 with patch 338905, contains an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in the Security.
