CVE-2024-13498Network attack vector

Unauthenticated uploaded-file disclosure via predictable filenames

Published Mar 12, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Sensitive information exposure in Basix NEX-Forms 8.8.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to read files uploaded through forms. The file-upload storage logic leaves directory listing enabled and stores uploads without randomized names, making stored files enumerable or guessable. No authentication or user interaction is required; exposure is limited to files already uploaded through a configured NEX-Forms form.
