CVE-2021-48015 Details
Description
JeeWMS before commit 0a610e8 contains an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability that allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via the dbPath parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to /systemController/showOrDownByurl.do with ../ sequences in dbPath, which bypasses AuthInterceptor, to retrieve files like win.ini. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2023-10-17.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in JeeWMS versions prior to the latest commit 0a610e8. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by exploiting the dbPath parameter. The issue arises in the systemController.showOrDownByurl.do endpoint, where attackers can send GET requests with ../ sequences in the dbPath parameter. This bypasses the AuthInterceptor, enabling the retrieval of sensitive files such as win.ini or /etc/passwd. The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of file paths, allowing attackers to traverse directories and access restricted files.
Users can update to the latest version of JeeWMS, which includes a patch for this vulnerability. The fixed version is available in the commit 0a610e8.
