An attacker can send specific requests to the server, checking for the existence of certain directories. This information can reveal the presence of older PHP versions or other software installed on the server. Armed with this information, the attacker can plan further attacks based on known vulnerabilities of the identified software.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-3579167123\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>An attacker might use a command similar to the following to check for the existence of a directory:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">GET \/path\/to\/directory HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>If the server responds with a 200 OK status, the attacker knows the directory exists and can then infer information about the server&#8217;s configuration or installed software.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FreshRSS has released a patch in version 1.26.2 that addresses this vulnerability. It is highly recommended that users update their software to the latest version. In the event that an immediate update is not possible, users should consider implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation measure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview The CVE-2025-31134 is a severe vulnerability that affects the self-hosted RSS feed aggregator, FreshRSS.
