Attackers can send GET requests with type=db_backup and ../ sequences in name to read files like /etc/passwd, and a hardcoded systemi account makes authentication effectively trivial. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2023-10-19.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `WAPPLES 4.0.54.1`\n- `WAPPLES 5.0`\n- `WAPPLES 6.0`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":48,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":35.8,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":228384,"id":"CVE-2022-51025","ts":1792791569576,"field":"exploit_available","old":"false","new":"true"}]}
