CVE-2025-11018
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes a path traversal vulnerability in Four-Faith Water Conservancy Informatization Platform 1.0 that allows attackers to access arbitrary files on the server by manipulating the fileName parameter. The vulnerability affects organizations using this specific water management platform and can be exploited remotely without authentication. The vendor has not responded to disclosure attempts, leaving users potentially exposed.
💻 Affected Systems
- Four-Faith Water Conservancy Informatization Platform
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could read sensitive system files, configuration files, or application data, potentially leading to credential theft, system compromise, or data exfiltration.
Likely Case
Attackers will likely attempt to read configuration files containing database credentials, API keys, or other sensitive information to further compromise the system.
If Mitigated
With proper network segmentation and file system permissions, impact would be limited to files accessible by the web application user account.
🎯 Exploit Status
The exploit has been published and uses simple path traversal techniques. Attack requires knowledge of the vulnerable endpoint and parameter.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Vendor has not responded to disclosure. Consider alternative mitigation strategies.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules
allImplement WAF rules to block requests containing path traversal patterns like '../' or absolute paths in the fileName parameter.
Input Validation Filter
allAdd server-side validation to sanitize fileName parameter, rejecting any input containing '../', '..\', or absolute paths.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to isolate the platform from sensitive systems
- Restrict file system permissions for the web application user to minimal required directories
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test by sending a request to /sysRole/index.do/../../generalReport/download.do with fileName parameter containing path traversal sequences like '../../etc/passwd' or similar.Check Version:
Check platform version in web interface or configuration files if accessible.Verify Fix Applied:
Attempt the same test after implementing mitigations - requests with path traversal should be blocked or return error.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /sysRole/index.do/../../generalReport/download.do with unusual fileName parameters
- Multiple failed file access attempts from single IP
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing '../' patterns in parameters
- Unusual file download patterns from the platform
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/sysRole/index.do/../../generalReport/download.do" AND (param="fileName" AND value MATCHES "\.\./|\.\.\\")
