An authenticated user may write files outside the intended Artifactory work directory under specific conditions.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in JFrog Artifactory permits authenticated low-privilege users to write files outside the intended working directory under specific conditions. Reported directly by JFrog, this CWE-22 flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (Medium), reflecting network reachability with limited integrity impact and no confidentiality or availability exposure. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this CVE does not appear in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
JFrog Artifactory is a universal binary repository manager widely deployed in enterprise DevOps pipelines to manage build artifacts across languages and package formats. The root cause is CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory - Path Traversal), in which user-controlled input is used to construct filesystem paths without sufficient canonicalization or boundary enforcement, enabling directory escape. The affected CPE cpe:2.3:a:jfrog:artifactory:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, suggesting the vendor has not publicly scoped the vulnerable version range through NVD CPE alone - exact affected versions should be confirmed via the JFrog advisory at docs.jfrog.com/releases/docs/jfrog-security-advisories.
RemediationAI
Consult the JFrog security advisory at https://docs.jfrog.com/releases/docs/jfrog-security-advisories and the Artifactory self-managed release notes at https://docs.jfrog.com/releases/docs/artifactory-self-managed-releases to identify the exact patched version and apply the vendor-released upgrade. An exact fix version has not been independently confirmed from the data provided - do not infer a version number from this analysis. As a compensating control pending patching, restrict Artifactory write permissions to the minimum set of authenticated roles that require them, review and tighten role-based access controls to limit which users can invoke the affected file-write operations, and monitor Artifactory logs for anomalous file paths in write requests that include traversal sequences such as '../'. Note that access restriction mitigates exposure but does not eliminate the underlying vulnerability if any low-privilege user role retains write access.
