Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Look for GET requests to /common/down/file with a 'filekey' parameter containing path traversal sequences (e.g., /../ or ../../../../) ↗
- →A successful exploitation returns HTTP 200 with /etc/passwd content matching root:.*:0:0: in the response body ↗
- →JFinalCMS instances can be fingerprinted via FOFA using the body signature content="JreCms" ↗
- →The vulnerability is unauthenticated (PR:N) and network-reachable (AV:N), meaning no credentials are required to exploit the directory traversal via the filekey parameter ↗
- ·The vulnerable endpoint is specifically /common/down/file and the traversal parameter is named 'filekey'; only JFinalCMS v5.0.0 is confirmed affected per the CVE ↗

info:
name: JFinalCMS v5.0.0 - Directory Traversal
author: pussycat0x
severity: medium
description: |
An issue in the component /common/DownController.java of JFinalCMS v5.0.0 allows attackers to execute a directory traversal.
impact: |
Unauthenticated attackers can read arbitrary files from the server through path traversal in the filekey parameter, potentially exposing database credentials, application configuration, and sensitive CMS content.
remediation: |
Update JFinalCMS to a version newer than 5.0.0 that validates and sanitizes file paths in DownController.java to prevent directory travers
