DescriptionCVE.org

Ghidra before 12.1 contains a path traversal vulnerability in SameDirDebugInfoProvider that fails to validate filenames from ELF binary .gnu_debuglink sections before constructing file paths. Attackers can craft malicious ELF binaries with traversal sequences to probe filesystem existence and leak CRC32 hashes of arbitrary files during automatic DWARF analysis.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in Ghidra's SameDirDebugInfoProvider (versions before 12.1) enables filesystem probing and CRC32 hash leakage of arbitrary files when a user opens a crafted ELF binary during automatic DWARF analysis. The vulnerability stems from missing validation of filenames embedded in ELF .gnu_debuglink sections before those filenames are used to construct filesystem paths. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Craft ELF binary with traversal sequences in .gnu_debuglink
Delivery
Deliver binary to Ghidra analyst via phishing or sample repo
Exploit
Analyst opens binary in Ghidra pre-12.1
Execution
Automatic DWARF analysis invokes SameDirDebugInfoProvider
Persist
Unvalidated path traversal probes arbitrary filesystem locations
Impact
CRC32 hash and file existence leaked to attacker

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Active user interaction is required (CVSS UI:A): the victim must open the malicious ELF binary in Ghidra, and automatic DWARF analysis must execute - this is the default analysis profile in Ghidra. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score is 4.6 (Medium). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An adversary embeds a .gnu_debuglink section in a malicious ELF binary containing a crafted filename with traversal sequences such as '../../../../etc/shadow'. The binary is delivered to a Ghidra analyst via phishing, a shared sample repository, or as part of a CTF challenge. …
Remediation Upgrade to Ghidra 12.1 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch for this vulnerability per the advisory GHSA-57g6-7qw2-p5hx at https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/security/advisories/GHSA-57g6-7qw2-p5hx. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
