CVE-2025-6797
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files on Marvell QConvergeConsole installations via directory traversal. Attackers can exploit the getFileUploadBytes method's improper path validation to access sensitive system files with SYSTEM privileges. All affected QConvergeConsole deployments are vulnerable.
💻 Affected Systems
- Marvell QConvergeConsole
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise via disclosure of credentials, configuration files, or other sensitive data leading to lateral movement or full network takeover.
Likely Case
Information disclosure of configuration files, logs, or credentials stored on the server, potentially enabling further attacks.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if file system permissions restrict sensitive files and network segmentation isolates the vulnerable system.
🎯 Exploit Status
Directory traversal vulnerabilities are typically easy to exploit with simple HTTP requests. No authentication required increases weaponization likelihood.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Check Marvell advisory for specific patched version
Vendor Advisory: https://www.marvell.com/support/security-advisories.html
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Check Marvell security advisory for patched version. 2. Download and install the update from Marvell support portal. 3. Restart the QConvergeConsole service or server.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Access Control
allRestrict network access to QConvergeConsole to trusted IPs only
Web Application Firewall
allDeploy WAF with rules to block directory traversal patterns
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the vulnerable system in a restricted network segment with no internet access
- Implement strict file system permissions to limit accessible directories
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test by sending crafted HTTP requests to the getFileUploadBytes endpoint with directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../../etc/passwd)Check Version:
Check QConvergeConsole web interface or installation directory for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
After patching, retest exploitation attempts; they should return errors or be blocked📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing ../ sequences to getFileUploadBytes endpoint
- Unusual file access patterns from web server process
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with path traversal patterns (../, ..\) to vulnerable endpoint
