Security SummaryAI

CVE-2025-65792 is an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability affecting DataGear version 5.5.0. Classified under CWE-22 (path traversal), it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (Critical), with a vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H, indicating no confidentiality impact but high integrity and availability impacts.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary file deletion on the target system, potentially disrupting service availability and compromising data integrity by removing critical files.

For mitigation details, refer to the vendor advisories and references, including the GitHub issue at https://github.com/X3J1n/datagear/issues/1 and the Gist PoC at https://gist.github.com/X3J1n/82b047efdbfd74c414a6d63339ad12fb.
