Exploitation Conditions

Authentication is required - the CVSS vector PR:L confirms that a valid low-privilege credential for the DriveLock web service is the minimum prerequisite. The DriveLock web service must be reachable by the attacker on TCP port 4568 (the default listening port). No non-default configuration is implied; the flaw appears to exist in the core web service component present in all DriveLock installations. Exploitation is constrained to files readable by the DriveLock service account identity - files outside that account's access permissions cannot be disclosed. No user interaction is required on the target system, and attack complexity is low once credentials are obtained.

Impact

The CVSS 3.0 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects the primary risk drivers: the attack is network-accessible with low complexity and requires only low-privilege authentication, while impact is limited exclusively to confidentiality with no integrity or availability component. The high confidentiality impact (C:H) is appropriate given that file disclosure occurs in the context of the service account, which in DriveLock deployments may have broad read access to policy stores or configuration data. No EPSS score was provided in the input, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. No public proof-of-concept has been identified. The real-world priority is moderate: the authentication requirement (PR:L) meaningfully limits the attack surface compared to unauthenticated traversal flaws, but any valid DriveLock web service credential - including lower-privileged users - would be sufficient. Organizations with DriveLock exposed internally to a broad user base face higher residual risk than those with strict network segmentation around port 4568.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated user with a low-privilege DriveLock web service account sends a crafted HTTP request to port 4568 containing path traversal sequences (e.g., '../../etc/drivelock/keys') targeting files readable by the DriveLock service account. The web service, lacking input validation, resolves the traversed path and returns the file contents in the response, allowing the attacker to enumerate and exfiltrate sensitive configuration or credential data. No public exploit code has been identified, but the technique is well-understood and requires no specialized tooling beyond a standard HTTP client.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 29, 2026

Path traversal in DriveLock's built-in web service exposes arbitrary files readable by the service account to any authenticated remote user. The flaw, discovered by ZDI (ZDI-CAN-28713) and disclosed as ZDI-26-288, exists because the web service on TCP port 4568 accepts user-supplied path strings and passes them directly to file operations without sanitization, allowing directory traversal sequences to escape the intended working directory. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and a vendor security bulletin has been published.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-issued patch documented in the DriveLock security bulletin 26-003 at https://www.drivelock.help/sb/Content/SecurityBulletins/26-003-PathValidation.htm - the exact patched version is not stated in available input data and must be confirmed against that advisory. Until patching is possible, restrict network access to TCP port 4568 via host-based firewall rules or network ACLs so that only explicitly authorized management systems can reach the DriveLock web service; this compensating control does not eliminate the flaw but substantially reduces exposure by requiring an attacker to already be on an authorized network segment. Additionally, audit which accounts hold DriveLock web service credentials and apply the principle of least privilege - revoking access for accounts that do not require it limits the pool of principals who can exploit the authenticated flaw. Note that restricting port 4568 may impact legitimate DriveLock management workflows; test in a staging environment before broad deployment.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory - Path Traversal), a root-cause class where insufficient canonicalization or validation of user input allows an attacker to supply sequences such as '../' to navigate outside the intended directory tree before a file operation is executed. The affected component is DriveLock's proprietary web service, which listens on TCP port 4568 by default. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:drivelock:drivelock:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions of the DriveLock application without restriction, indicating the traversal flaw is present across the full product line rather than a specific release branch. DriveLock is an endpoint security and device control platform common in regulated enterprise environments, meaning its service account may hold access to sensitive policy files, cryptographic material, or endpoint data.

DescriptionCVE.org

DriveLock Directory Traversal Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of DriveLock. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within the web service, which listens on TCP port 4568 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose information in the context of the service account. Was ZDI-CAN-28713.
