| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-22 | The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2025-49089 is a vulnerability in version 1.2.6 of wangxutech MoneyPrinterTurbo's API that allows an attacker to perform a path traversal attack. The API endpoints /api/v1/download/{file_path} and /api/v1/stream/{file_path} do not properly validate or sanitize the file_path parameter. This allows an attacker to use directory traversal sequences (like ../ or its URL-encoded form ..%2F) to access arbitrary files on the server, including sensitive system files such as /etc/passwd on Linux or win.ini on Windows. [1]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive files on the server, resulting in information disclosure. Attackers can read configuration files, password files, or other sensitive data, which may allow them to gather information for further attacks, compromise the system, or escalate privileges. [1]
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
You can detect this vulnerability by attempting to access sensitive files through the vulnerable API endpoints using directory traversal payloads. For example, use curl commands to request files like /etc/passwd or Windows win.ini via the download or stream endpoints. Example commands: curl -v "http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/download//etc/passwd" curl -v "http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v1/download/..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fwindows%2Fwin.ini" If these requests return file contents, the system is vulnerable. [1]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include restricting access to the vulnerable API endpoints, implementing proper input validation and sanitization on the file_path parameter to prevent directory traversal sequences, and applying any available patches or updates from the vendor. Additionally, monitor and block suspicious requests attempting directory traversal patterns. [1]
