Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
An external control of file name or path vulnerability in the delete file function of Soar Cloud HRD Human Resource Management System through version 7.3.2025.0408 allows remote attackers to delete partial files by specifying arbitrary file paths.
Analysis
CVE-2025-48783 is an external control of file name or path vulnerability (CWE-73) in the delete file function of Soar Cloud HRD Human Resource Management System versions up to 7.3.2025.0408, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to delete arbitrary files by manipulating file path parameters. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.5 with high integrity impact, enabling attackers to perform unauthorized file deletion without authentication. Exploitation requires only network access and no user interaction, making this a significant threat to organizations using affected HRD system versions.
Technical Context
The vulnerability exists in the file deletion API endpoint of Soar Cloud HRD, where user-supplied input controlling the file path parameter is not properly validated or sanitized before being passed to file system operations. This represents a classic CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path) vulnerability where insufficient input validation allows path traversal or direct path specification attacks. The affected product is Soar Cloud HRD Human Resource Management System (CPE identifiable as vendor:soar, product:cloud_hrd or similar HR management suite). The delete function likely uses concatenation or direct file path construction without implementing proper canonicalization, whitelist validation, or path boundary checks. The vulnerability specifically affects the file deletion mechanism, suggesting the exposed endpoint is typically used for managing HR documents, employee records, or system files.
Affected Products
- vendor: Soar Cloud; product: HRD Human Resource Management System; versions: up to and including 7.3.2025.0408; impact: Remote file deletion via path traversal in delete file function
Remediation
- Upgrade Soar Cloud HRD to a patched version beyond 7.3.2025.0408 (vendor should release 7.3.2025.0409 or later with path validation fixes) - If immediate patching is unavailable, implement network-level controls: restrict access to HRD APIs using firewall rules, VPN/bastion host requirements, or WAF rules to block suspicious file paths (e.g., patterns containing ../ or absolute paths) - Implement input validation on the client side and server side: whitelist allowed file names/paths, reject any path traversal sequences (../, ..\ ), and enforce that deletions only occur within designated safe directories - Enable comprehensive file system auditing and logging for all file deletion operations within the HRD system, allowing rapid detection and incident response - Implement robust backup and recovery procedures for critical HR data to minimize impact of unauthorized deletions - Monitor Soar Cloud's official security advisory channels for patch release announcements and apply patches immediately upon availability - Conduct a security assessment of other file handling functions (upload, read, write) in the HRD system to identify similar CWE-73 vulnerabilities
