Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a directory traversal issue in DataEase versions before 1.18.10. It allows remote attackers to access sensitive information by sending crafted requests to the StaticResourceController.java component. The flaw specifically affects Windows environments due to improper handling of Windows-style directory traversal sequences (..\).

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check the DataEase version installed on your system. If it is 1.18.9 or earlier, the system is vulnerable. Review server logs for unusual requests containing directory traversal sequences like ..\ or ../ targeting the StaticResourceController endpoint.

Impact Analysis

If you use DataEase versions 1.18.9 or earlier on a Windows system, attackers could exploit this to view sensitive files like application configuration files. This may lead to unauthorized access to confidential data or system settings.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade DataEase to version 1.18.10 or later immediately to patch the vulnerability. If upgrading is not possible, restrict access to the StaticResourceController endpoint and monitor for suspicious activity.
