CVE-2025-25284Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated file read via unsanitized VRT paths

Published Feb 18, 2025 · Updated Feb 18, 2025

Path traversal in ZOO-Project commits before 5f155a8 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary server files through the WPS service. Gdal_Translate accepts VRT VRTRasterBand SourceFilename values containing ../ sequences, then GDAL treats referenced files as raw data and converts them to TIFF output. No authentication is required; exposure is limited to files readable by the service process, including configuration data and credentials.
