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

This report details a critical path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2025-37098) found in HPE Insight Remote Support (IRS) versions prior to v7.15.0.646. This vulnerability could potentially lead to system compromise or data leakage, posing a significant risk to any organization utilizing affected versions of HPE IRS. Immediate action is recommended to mitigate this risk.<\/p>\n

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

CVE ID: CVE-2025-37098
\nSeverity: High (CVSS: 7.5)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Potential system compromise and data leakage<\/p>\n

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

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

HPE Insight Remote Support | Prior to v7.15.0.646<\/p>\n

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

A path traversal vulnerability exists in HPE Insight Remote Support which allows an attacker to access files or directories that are stored outside the web root folder. By manipulating variables that reference files with \u2018dot-dot-slash (..\/)\u2019 sequences and its variations, it may be possible to access arbitrary files and directories stored on the system, potentially leading to sensitive information disclosure or system compromise.<\/p>\n

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

This conceptual example demonstrates how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability via an HTTP request to a vulnerable endpoint:<\/p>\n

GET \/download?file=..\/..\/etc\/passwd HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, the attacker seeks to download the `\/etc\/passwd` file, which contains user password hashes on a Unix-like system. If successful, this could lead to unauthorized access and potential system compromise.<\/p>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the vendor-supplied patch as soon as possible. In the interim, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) could be used to filter out malicious requests that attempt to exploit this vulnerability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
