Known Exploited Vulnerability
This NAKIVO Backup and Replication Absolute Path Traversal Vulnerability is part of CISA's list of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities. NAKIVO Backup and Replication contains an absolute path traversal vulnerability that enables an attacker to read arbitrary files.
The following remediation steps are recommended / required by April 9, 2025: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
Weakness Type
Absolute Path Traversal
The software uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize absolute path sequences such as "/abs/path" that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. This allows attackers to traverse the file system to access files or directories that are outside of the restricted directory.
