An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-40605 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SonicWall Email Security. 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-2025-40605/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40605/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-40605","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40605/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-40605","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-654w-wx9h-5mgg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Email Security appliance","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can access files outside restricted paths on SonicWall Email Security appliances via directory traversal sequences.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sonicwall","cpe":[{"product":"email_security_appliance_5000_firmware","vendor":"sonicwall"},{"product":"email_security_appliance_5050_firmware","vendor":"sonicwall"},{"product":"email_security_appliance_7000_firmware","vendor":"sonicwall"},{"product":"email_security_appliance_7050_firmware","vendor":"sonicwall"},{"product":"email_security_appliance_9000_firmware","vendor":"sonicwall"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-23","name":"Relative Path Traversal"}],"description":"A Path Traversal vulnerability has been identified in the Email Security appliance allows an attacker to manipulate file system paths by injecting crafted directory-traversal sequences (such as ../) and may access files and directories outside the intended restricted path.","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 Email Security","id":"CVE-2025-40605","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Bookgy","id":"CVE-2025-40615"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in Email Security","id":"CVE-2025-40604"},"products":["Email Security"],"published":"2025-11-20","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Code injection in Email Security","id":"CVE-2025-40604","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-20"}],"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":"2025-11-20","vendors":["SonicWall"]},"summary":"Attackers can access files outside restricted paths on SonicWall Email Security appliances via directory traversal sequences.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-40605/"}
