Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Checkmk up to 2.1.0/2.2.0p45/2.3.0p37/2.4.0p12. This affects some unknown processing of the component Report Scheduler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Insufficient escaping in the report scheduler within Checkmk <2.4.0p13, <2.3.0p38, <2.2.0p46 and 2.1.0 (EOL) allows authenticated attackers to define the storage location of report file pairs beyond their intended root directory.

The advisory is shared at checkmk.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2025-39664 since 04/16/2025. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.
