CVE-2024-51961Network attack vector

Sensitive configuration disclosure via crafted file path

Published Mar 3, 2025 · Updated Apr 10, 2025

Local file inclusion in Esri ArcGIS Server 11.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to read sensitive configuration files via a crafted URL. The affected URL handler accepts an externally controlled file path and reads an internal file; Esri has not identified the endpoint or parameter. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the reported impact is limited to confidential configuration data rather than modification or service interruption.
