AnalysisAI
Path traversal (CWE-22) in the Apache Lucene.Net.Replicator library lets remote attackers read files outside the intended index directory by supplying crafted pathnames to the replication service, disclosing arbitrary server-side files. All releases from 4.8.0-beta00005 through 4.8.0-beta00017 are affected, and Apache fixed it in 4.8.0-beta00018. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target application deploys and network-exposes the Lucene.Net.Replicator server component (the HTTP ReplicationService that serves index files) on an affected version (4.8.0-beta00005 through 4.8.0-beta00017) - this is the AT:P attack requirement and the primary limiting factor, since embedded Lucene.Net search without the replicator is not exploitable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:N/SA:N, score 8.9 High) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated read-only disclosure with a subsequent-system confidentiality impact (SC:H) and no integrity or availability impact - consistent with arbitrary file read rather than code execution. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach the Lucene.Net replication HTTP endpoint sends a crafted request whose file or session identifier contains directory-traversal sequences (e.g. '../../') to escape the index directory and retrieve arbitrary files such as configuration files, credentials, or connection strings on the server. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade the Lucene.Net.Replicator package to 4.8.0-beta00018, which fixes the path traversal, as recommended in the Apache advisory (https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2026/q3/13 and https://lucenenet.apache.org/). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
