dataCycle is a data management system for centrally storing, managing, searching, finding, and distributing data. In dataCycle-CORE, the module handling core processing and framework rules, before and including version 25.07.3, the documentation and static markdown renderer accepts attacker-controlled path segments and only runs them through the Rails HTML sanitizer, which does not remove directory traversal sequences. An unauthenticated attacker can traverse out of the intended docs or static directories and render arbitrary .md files from the application root or engine root. This is patched in version 26.06.08.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file disclosure in dataCycle-CORE (versions up to and including 25.07.3) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read arbitrary .md files outside the intended docs/static directories. The documentation and static markdown renderer passes attacker-controlled path segments only through the Rails HTML sanitizer, which does not strip directory-traversal sequences, enabling path traversal to the application or engine root. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the dataCycle documentation or static markdown renderer endpoint (the docs/static routes) be network-reachable to the attacker; no authentication, privileges, or user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N), so default-configured internet-facing instances of dataCycle-CORE ≤25.07.3 are exploitable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 7.5 High) is internally consistent and aligns with the description: network-reachable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, with a pure confidentiality impact (C:H, I:N, A:N) - appropriate for a read-only file-disclosure flaw. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to dataCycle's documentation or static markdown endpoint, inserting '../' sequences into the path segment (e.g., requesting a docs path that traverses up to the application or engine root). The renderer sanitizes the input as HTML but leaves the traversal intact, resolves the path outside docs/static, and returns the rendered contents of an arbitrary .md file. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade dataCycle-CORE to version 26.06.08, which contains the fix (Vendor-released patch: 26.06.08); consult advisory GHSA-gc37-6w59-hj36 at https://github.com/datacycle-engine/dataCycle-CORE/security/advisories/GHSA-gc37-6w59-hj36. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
