CVE Alert: CVE-2025-10449 – Saysis Computer Systems Trade Ltd. Co. – Saysis Web Portal

Risk verdict

High severity remote path traversal vulnerability with no authentication required; exploitation is not seen at present, but patch promptly to minimise exposure.

Why this matters

The flaw enables attackers to read restricted files or configuration data from the web portal, yielding potential data disclosure and credential exposure. If the portal is internet-facing or houses sensitive assets, an opportunistic attacker could leverage the weakness to map internal files and pivot to downstream systems.

Most likely attack path

Attacker can target a reachable Saysis Web Portal over the network without user interaction or privileges. By crafting a manipulated request, they can traverse directories and access sensitive files, with Scope shifted to impact additional components if exposed data is used elsewhere. The lack of authentication and low attack complexity make remote probing feasible for opportunistic actors.

Who is most exposed

Organizations deploying Saysis Web Portal in internet-exposed or DMZ-hosted web servers are most at risk, particularly where access controls and input validation are weak or misconfigured for pathnames.

Detection ideas

• Logs show repeated RPC-like or crafted URL patterns containing ../../ or encoded traversal sequences.
• Requests to known sensitive paths (e.g., /../../etc/passwd, /web.config) without proper authorisation.
• Anomalous 200 responses for traversal-like URLs or unexpected file contents in responses.
• WAF alerts triggered by suspicious traversal payloads.
• Unusual spikes in access to portal endpoints from diverse IPs.

Mitigation and prioritisation

• Apply vendor patch to 3.2.1 or later in test and production promptly.
• If patching is delayed, enable strict WAF rules to block directory traversal and disable directory listing; enforce input validation and canonical path handling.
• Restrict portal service permissions; ensure least-privilege access to file systems and strict read access only where needed.
• Schedule a formal change window; verify patch with regression tests and monitor for traversal attempts post-deployment.
• If exposed externally, elevate monitoring and consider temporary access controls (IP allow-lists) until patched.
