DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability has been found in Whistle 2.9.98 and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /cgi-bin/sessions/get-temp-file. The manipulation of the argument filename leads to path traversal. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal vulnerability in Whistle 2.9.98 allows attackers to read arbitrary files via the /cgi-bin/sessions/get-temp-file endpoint by manipulating the filename argument. Public exploit code exists, but no active exploitation has been reported and EPSS score is low (0.04%).

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is a path traversal (CWE-22) in Whistle, a web debugging proxy. The affected endpoint /cgi-bin/sessions/get-temp-file fails to sanitize user-supplied filename input, allowing directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to access files outside the intended directory. CPE data is not provided, but the product is Whistle version 2.9.98.

RemediationAI

No official patch is available as the vendor did not respond. As a workaround, restrict access to the /cgi-bin/sessions/get-temp-file endpoint via firewall rules or web server configuration, or disable the CGI functionality if not needed. Monitor for unauthorized file access attempts.
