CVE-2025-15449
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes a path traversal vulnerability in JavaMall's MinioController delete function that allows attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server by manipulating the objectName parameter. The vulnerability affects JavaMall deployments up to commit 994f1e2b019378ec9444cdf3fce2d5b5f72d28f0 and can be exploited remotely without authentication.
💻 Affected Systems
- JavaMall
📦 What is this software?
Javamall by Cld378632668
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise through deletion of critical system files, application data, or configuration files leading to service disruption, data loss, or privilege escalation.
Likely Case
Unauthorized deletion of application files, user data, or configuration files causing service disruption and data loss.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper file system permissions and input validation preventing traversal beyond intended directories.
🎯 Exploit Status
Public proof-of-concept exists in GitHub repository. Simple path traversal payloads can be used to exploit.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None - vendor did not respond to disclosure
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing input validation and path sanitization in the delete function.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement server-side validation to reject path traversal sequences in objectName parameter
Implement validation in src/main/java/com/macro/mall/controller/MinioController.java to sanitize input
Web Application Firewall Rules
allConfigure WAF to block requests containing path traversal patterns
Add WAF rule to block ../, ..\, and similar traversal patterns in request parameters
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to restrict access to JavaMall instances
- Enable detailed logging and monitoring for file deletion operations
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test by sending a delete request with path traversal payload (e.g., '../../etc/passwd') to the affected endpointCheck Version:
Check git commit hash: git log --oneline -1Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that path traversal payloads are rejected and proper input validation is implemented📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual file deletion patterns
- Requests containing '../' or '..\' sequences
- Failed file deletion attempts outside expected directories
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to delete endpoint with suspicious path parameters
- Multiple rapid delete requests
SIEM Query:
