CVE-2025-27566Network attack vector

File retrieval or deletion via backup path traversal

Published May 19, 2025 · Updated May 19, 2025

Path traversal in Appleple a-blog cms before 3.0.47 and 3.1.43 allows remote authenticated users to retrieve or delete server files. The backup feature accepts attacker-controlled path components without sufficient validation, allowing requests to escape the intended backup path. Administrator privileges are required, and the published impact is limited to reading or deleting files reachable by the CMS process.
