6.5 MEDIUM

No-session endpoint requires no authentication (PR:N, AV:N); path traversal yields limited file read/write with no availability impact and no scope change.

DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in Microweber up to 2.0.20. This affects the function userfiles_path of the file /api_nosession/thumbnail_img of the component API Endpoint. Executing a manipulation of the argument cache_path_relative can lead to path traversal. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in Microweber CMS up to version 2.0.20 exposes the unauthenticated /api_nosession/thumbnail_img endpoint to file system manipulation via the cache_path_relative parameter of the userfiles_path function. Remote, unauthenticated attackers can traverse outside the intended directory to read - and potentially write - files accessible to the web server process. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify internet-facing Microweber instance
Delivery
Send unauthenticated HTTP request to /api_nosession/thumbnail_img
Exploit
Inject traversal sequences into cache_path_relative parameter
Execution
userfiles_path resolves path outside intended directory
Impact
Read or write files accessible to web server process

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The `/api_nosession/thumbnail_img` endpoint is accessible without any authentication - the `nosession` designation in the endpoint path and the CVSS PR:N metric both confirm this. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.5 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N, confirming trivial network exploitation with no authentication, no complexity, and no user interaction required. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker sends an HTTP GET or POST request to the publicly accessible `/api_nosession/thumbnail_img` endpoint of a Microweber 2.0.20 installation with a crafted `cache_path_relative` value such as `../../../../etc/passwd`. The server's `userfiles_path` function processes the unsanitized traversal sequence and returns the content of the targeted file to the attacker. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - the vendor did not respond to the coordinated disclosure. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
