Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in dbgate up to 6.4.3-beta.8/6.4.3-prem. This issue affects an unknown functionality of the component Path Handler. The manipulation of the argument file with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-29. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize '\..\filename' (leading backslash dot dot) sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. Impacted is confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

DbGate is cross-platform database manager. In versions 6.4.3-premium-beta.5 and below, DbGate is vulnerable to a directory traversal flaw. The file parameter is not properly restricted to the intended uploads directory. As a result, the endpoint that lists files within the upload directory can be manipulated to access arbitrary files on the system. By supplying a crafted path to the file parameter, an attacker can read files outside the upload directory, potentially exposing sensitive system-level data. This is fixed in version 6.4.3-beta.8.

The advisory is shared at github.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2025-50184 since 06/13/2025. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be initiated remotely. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.

Upgrading to version 6.4.3-beta.8 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 18b11df672b5a887bc17a6b9fdd13f9742c8f98e is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at github.com. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
