Unauthenticated code execution via Windows path traversal
Published Aug 5, 2025 · Updated Aug 5, 2025
Path traversal in ThinkPHP Framework 5.1.41 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through crafted routes. The routeCheck path accepts the s routing parameter, treats backslash traversal as a module directory on Windows, and subsequently includes discovered PHP files. Exploitation requires network access to a Windows-hosted application using multi-module routing and executes PHP with the web process's privileges.
