Executive Summary

CVE-2025-67004 is a Directory Traversal vulnerability in CouchCMS version 2.4 that allows an authenticated admin user to read arbitrary files on the server by exploiting directory traversal sequences in file paths. This means an attacker with admin privileges can access files outside the intended web root directory, potentially disclosing sensitive information such as source code or confidential system files. [1]

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to high confidentiality impact because an attacker with admin access can read any file accessible by the web server user, including sensitive data and source code. This could result in exposure of confidential information. The integrity impact is low, and availability impact is medium. [1]

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by logging in as an admin user and capturing the "Download Dump" HTTP request using a tool like Burp Suite. Then, modify the request path in Burp Suite Repeater to include directory traversal payloads such as "../../../../exploit_test.txt" to check if files outside the CouchCMS root directory can be accessed. This confirms the presence of the directory traversal vulnerability. [1]

Mitigation Strategies

The immediate mitigation step is to upgrade CouchCMS to a higher, patched version where this directory traversal vulnerability is fixed. [1]
