CVE-2025-1228
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to perform path traversal attacks in olajowon Loggrove's Logfile Update Handler. By manipulating the 'path' argument in the /read/?page=1&logfile=LOG_Monitor endpoint, attackers can access files outside the intended directory. All users running affected versions of Loggrove are vulnerable.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could read sensitive system files, configuration files, or application data, potentially leading to credential theft, data exposure, or further system compromise.
Likely Case
Unauthorized reading of log files or configuration files, potentially exposing sensitive information about the application or system.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper file permissions and access controls in place, restricting what files can be accessed even with path traversal.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit has been publicly disclosed and requires minimal technical skill to execute. Remote exploitation is possible without authentication.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://gitee.com/olajowon/loggrove/issues/IBJSXS
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Monitor the project repository for updates and apply any security fixes when released.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation on the 'path' parameter to prevent directory traversal sequences
Implement validation in application code to reject paths containing '../', '..\', or absolute paths
Web Server Restrictions
linuxConfigure web server to restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint or implement URL filtering
nginx: location ~ ^/read/ { deny all; }
Apache: <Location "/read/"> Require all denied </Location>
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to restrict access to Loggrove instances
- Deploy a WAF with path traversal protection rules
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test by accessing /read/?page=1&logfile=../../../etc/passwd (or similar traversal) and checking if restricted files are returnedCheck Version:
Check git commit hash: git log --oneline -1Verify Fix Applied:
Retest path traversal attempts after implementing workarounds to confirm they are blocked📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /read/ endpoint with '..' sequences in parameters
- Unusual file access patterns from web application
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing path traversal sequences (%2e%2e%2f, ..\, etc.)
