Executive Summary

CVE-2026-101067 is a path traversal vulnerability in DbGate versions up to 7.2.5. It exists in the save-uploaded-file endpoint where the filePath and fileName parameters are not properly validated. Attackers can manipulate these parameters to access or write files outside intended directories, including sensitive system files.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if your DbGate instance is running a vulnerable version (7.2.5 or earlier). Inspect network traffic for requests to the /files/save-uploaded-file endpoint with unusual filePath or fileName parameters containing path traversal sequences like ../. Monitor for unauthorized file reads or writes in system directories.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to read sensitive files like /etc/shadow or overwrite critical system files without authentication. In default Docker deployments, no authentication is required, making it easier to exploit. Attackers could also execute arbitrary code by combining this with other vulnerabilities.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating GDPR's data protection principles and HIPAA's security requirements for protected health information. Non-compliance risks include legal penalties, reputational damage, and loss of trust.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade DbGate to the latest version beyond 7.2.5 immediately. If upgrading is not possible, restrict access to the /files/save-uploaded-file endpoint via firewall rules or disable it entirely. Ensure proper input validation for filePath and fileName parameters to block path traversal attempts.
