CVE-2025-51463: Path Traversal in restore_run_backup() in AIM 3.28.0 allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files to the server's filesystem via a craft

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)

The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.52% (FIRST EPSS).
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
No fixed version is recorded, but the references include a patch (commit or PR) link.

Low priority for now. See the fix and affected versions sections below.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Path Traversal in restore_run_backup() in AIM 3.28.0 allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files to the server's filesystem via a crafted backup tar file submitted to the run_instruction API, which is extracted without path validation during restoration.

Weakness class (CWE)

CWE-22 · Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Root cause

A user-supplied file name is joined with the allowed directory, but the result is never checked to confirm it is still inside that directory.

The bug in code

A representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

Vulnerable
