CVE-2025-24786Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated database access via unchecked joined path

Published Feb 6, 2025 · Updated Feb 6, 2025

Path traversal in Clidey WhoDB before 0.45.0 allows remote attackers to read or modify host SQLite3 databases via crafted paths. The SQLite3 DB routine passes the user-controlled Database value to filepath.Join with /db or ./tmp and opens the result without verifying containment. The HTTP API requires no authentication; access is limited to existing SQLite3 files readable by the process, while modification requires write permission.
