Overview
A critical path traversal vulnerability has been identified in AndSoft’s e-TMS software version 25.03. This vulnerability, tagged as CVE-2025-59744, poses a significant risk to businesses using the affected software as it could potentially lead to system compromise or data leakage. The risk arises from the potential for an attacker to access files within the web root using the “docurl” parameter in the URL path.

How the Exploit Works
The exploit operates by manipulating the “docurl” parameter in the “/lib/asp/DOCSAVEASASP.ASP” URL. By adjusting this parameter, an attacker is able to traverse the directory structure within the web root. This allows unauthorized access to sensitive files, potentially leading to data leakage or system compromise.
Conceptual Example Code
Here’s a conceptual example of an HTTP request that could exploit this vulnerability:
GET /lib/asp/DOCSAVEASASP.ASP?docurl=../../../../etc/passwd HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
In this example, the attacker is attempting to access the Unix password file by exploiting the path traversal vulnerability.
To mitigate against this vulnerability, it is recommended to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. In the interim, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) may serve as temporary mitigation.
