Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CVE-2025-28980 vulnerability is an improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory, also known as a ‘Path Traversal’ vulnerability. This vulnerability affects machouinard’s Aviation Weather from NOAA application. Its significance lies in its potential to lead to system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-28980
\nSeverity: High (CVSS: 7.7)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Potential system compromise or data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Aviation Weather from NOAA | n\/a through 0.7.2<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability stems from the application’s insufficient sanitization or validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can manipulate the input to traverse the file system beyond the root directory, potentially gaining access to sensitive files or system resources. This could result in unauthorized information disclosure, modification, or destruction.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

An example of how this vulnerability might be exploited is by crafting a malicious HTTP request in the following format:<\/p>\n

GET \/api\/data?file=..\/..\/..\/etc\/passwd HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/json<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the attacker is attempting to access the ‘\/etc\/passwd’ file, which is a sensitive file located outside the intended directory. If successful, the attacker could gain access to user account information.<\/p>\n
Recommended Mitigation Strategies<\/strong><\/p>\n
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the patch provided by the vendor. If the patch cannot be applied immediately, deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) may serve as a temporary mitigation strategy. Regular system and application updates, as well as input validation and sanitization, are also critical in preventing such vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
