CVE-2025-59384

What is CVE-2025-59384?

CVE-2025-59384 is a path traversal vulnerability found in Qfiling, a file management application developed by QNAP. Qfiling allows users to automate and streamline file organization, enhancing productivity and efficiency in data management. This vulnerability occurs when improper input validation enables attackers to manipulate file paths, potentially granting unauthorized access to sensitive files outside of the intended directory structure on the server. Exploiting this vulnerability could negatively impact an organization by allowing attackers to read confidential information, system configurations, or other critical data that should remain protected.

To mitigate the risk associated with this vulnerability, QNAP has provided a patch in version 3.13.1 and later of Qfiling, urging users to update their software to safeguard their systems against potential exploitation.
