Questions about CVE-2024-48248
What does this mean?
A path traversal flaw in the web interface's getImageByPath function, reached through /c/router, lets a request read files anywhere on the server by using absolute paths. The advisory says this works without logging in.Source: labs.watchtowr.com
Am I affected, and how do I check?
Backup & Replication Director versions before 11.0.0.88174 are in the affected range. The advisory says only a small number of paths were reachable without authentication, because a filter was in place, so the exposure depends on that filter and on the web interface being reachable. To check, compare the installed version number with 11.0.0.88174.Source: labs.watchtowr.com
What should I do about it?
Upgrade to NAKIVO Backup & Replication Director 11.0.0.88174 or later.Source: labs.watchtowr.com
Is it being exploited?
Yes. CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-03-19, which means it has evidence of attacks. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cisa.gov, cve.now feed data
