AC:H reflects the prerequisite MDC-discriminator configuration; PR:N and AV:N because HTTP reachability requires no credentials; limited CIA impact from file write outside intended directory.

DescriptionCVE.org

Path-traversal vulnerability in QOS.CH Sarl Logback-classic on Java (logback-classic module) allows path-traversal vulnerability. More specifically, an MDC-based discriminator value flows unsanitized into a nested FileAppender path, letting an attacker who influences that MDC value (e.g. via an HTTP header) create and append log files outside the intended directory.

This issue affects Logback-classic: from 0.9.14 through 1.6.2.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in Logback-classic versions 0.9.14 through 1.6.2 enables a remote unauthenticated attacker to create and append log files at arbitrary filesystem locations by injecting traversal sequences into an MDC (Mapped Diagnostic Context) value that flows unsanitized into a nested FileAppender path. Deployments using MDC-based discriminators - a pattern frequently triggered by HTTP header values automatically stored in MDC by web frameworks - are directly at risk. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target application uses Logback-classic's SiftingAppender (or an equivalent MDC-based dynamic FileAppender configuration in logback.xml) where the discriminator key resolves to a value the attacker can influence - most commonly an HTTP request header automatically copied into MDC by a framework interceptor, servlet filter, or MDC propagation adapter. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) is an appropriate representation: the network vector and absence of privilege requirements reflect the HTTP-reachable attack surface, while AT:P correctly captures the prerequisite that a specific, non-default configuration - an MDC-based discriminator driving a FileAppender path - must be present. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade logback-classic to version 1.6.3 or later, per QOS.CH Sarl release notes at https://logback.qos.ch/news.html#1.6.3; this is the primary and recommended fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
