CVE-2025-11034: Dibo Data Decision Making Path Traversal

CVE-2025-11034 Overview

CVE-2025-11034 is a path traversal vulnerability [CWE-22] affecting Dibo Data Decision Making System versions up to 2.7.0. The flaw resides in the downloadImpTemplet function within /common/dep/common_dep.action.jsp, where the filePath argument is not properly validated. Attackers can manipulate the filePath parameter to traverse outside the intended directory and access files on the server. The vulnerability is exploitable remotely over the network and requires low-level authenticated access. Public exploit details have been disclosed, increasing the likelihood of opportunistic scanning.

Critical Impact
Authenticated remote attackers can read arbitrary files on the host through directory traversal in the filePath argument, potentially exposing configuration data and application secrets.

Affected Products

Dibo Data Decision Making System versions up to and including 2.7.0
Vulnerable component: /common/dep/common_dep.action.jsp
Vulnerable function: downloadImpTemplet

Technical Details for CVE-2025-11034

Vulnerability Analysis

The vulnerability originates in the downloadImpTemplet function exposed via /common/dep/common_dep.action.jsp. This endpoint accepts a filePath argument that is passed to file-read logic without adequate normalization or allow-list validation. Attackers can inject traversal sequences such as ../ to reference files outside the intended template directory. Because the endpoint is reachable over the network with low privileges, adversaries can retrieve sensitive server-side files. Recovered content commonly includes application configuration, database connection strings, and JSP source code that can support follow-on attacks.

Root Cause

The root cause is improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory [CWE-22]. The filePath parameter is concatenated into a filesystem read operation without canonicalization or verification that the resolved path remains within an approved base directory. Any traversal sequence supplied by the caller is honored by the underlying file API.

Attack Vector

The attack vector is network-based and requires low-privilege authentication. An attacker issues an HTTP request to /common/dep/common_dep.action.jsp invoking the downloadImpTemplet action with a crafted filePath value pointing outside the template directory. The server resolves the traversal and returns file contents to the attacker in the HTTP response. No user interaction is required and the exploit has been publicly disclosed. Technical details are documented in the GitHub Data Analysis vulnerability write-up and the VulDB entry #325981.

No verified proof-of-concept code is included in this article. Refer to the linked references for the disclosed request format.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-11034

Indicators of Compromise

HTTP requests to /common/dep/common_dep.action.jsp containing downloadImpTemplet and traversal sequences such as ../, ..\, or URL-encoded variants (%2e%2e%2f) in the filePath parameter.
Web server access logs showing successful 200 OK responses to downloadImpTemplet requests referencing files outside the expected template path.
Unexpected file reads by the application service account targeting configuration files, WEB-INF contents, or operating system files.

Detection Strategies

Deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules that inspect the filePath argument for traversal patterns and normalized path characters.
Alert on any invocation of downloadImpTemplet originating from unauthenticated or unexpected source addresses.
Correlate JSP endpoint access with subsequent outbound data transfers to identify potential exfiltration following file disclosure.

Monitoring Recommendations

Ingest web server and application logs into a centralized logging platform and retain them for retrospective analysis.
Monitor filesystem access telemetry from the Java process for reads outside its designated template directory.
Track authentication events preceding downloadImpTemplet calls to identify low-privilege accounts being abused for exploitation.

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-11034

Immediate Actions Required

Restrict network access to /common/dep/common_dep.action.jsp at the reverse proxy or WAF until a vendor fix is applied.
Rotate credentials, API keys, and database secrets stored on any host that may have been accessed through the flaw.
Audit web server logs for prior exploitation attempts referencing downloadImpTemplet with traversal characters.

Patch Information

At the time of publication, no vendor advisory or patch URL is referenced in the NVD entry for CVE-2025-11034. Organizations should contact the Dibo vendor for an updated release beyond 2.7.0 and consult the VulDB CTI record for updates on remediation status.

Workarounds

Apply WAF signatures that block traversal sequences (../, ..\, %2e%2e%2f, %2e%2e/) in the filePath parameter of common_dep.action.jsp.
Enforce filesystem permissions so the application service account cannot read sensitive files outside its required working directory.
Disable or remove the downloadImpTemplet endpoint if the template download feature is not required for business operations.

bash

# Example nginx block for traversal patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint
location /common/dep/common_dep.action.jsp {
    if ($args ~* "filePath=.*(\.\./|\.\.\\|%2e%2e)") {
        return 403;
    }
    proxy_pass http://backend;
