CVE-2025-1588Network attack vector

Unauthenticated server-file alteration via profilepic traversal

Published Feb 23, 2025 · Updated Feb 24, 2025

Path traversal in Online Nurse Hiring System 1.0 allows remote attackers to alter server files through crafted profilepic input. The /admin/manage-nurse.php endpoint accepts ../ sequences in profilepic without confining the resolved path to its intended directory. Unauthenticated requests require no user interaction; the public record does not identify the exact file operation or establish file reading or code execution.
