CVE-2022-26675
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedaEnrich a+HRD has inadequate filtering for special characters in URLs. An unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass authentication and perform path traversal attacks to access arbitrary files under website root directory.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceaEnrich a+HRD contains inadequate filtering for special characters in URLs, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute path traversal attacks (using ../ sequences) to read arbitrary files within the web server's document root directory.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the a+HRD versionAccess the application's login page or about section, or check the installation directory for version files. The affected version is 6.8.Affected if The installed version is 6.8 or if the product is aEnrich a+HRD with no version visible (assume affected)
-
Verify the web service is exposedConfirm the a+HRD web interface is accessible externally or internally via HTTP/HTTPS. Check network configuration for ports 80, 443, or custom ports the application uses.Affected if The web interface is reachable over the network (the vulnerability is exploitable remotely)
-
Inspect URL filtering configurationLocate the web server configuration files (e.g., web.config, .htaccess, or application-specific config) and search for settings related to URL validation, path filtering, or request filtering.Affected if No URL/path filtering rules exist, or filtering allows ../ sequences in URLs
-
Review access logs for path traversal attemptsCheck web server access logs and application logs for patterns containing ../, ..\, or encoded variations like %2e%2e%2f. Look for unauthorized access attempts to sensitive files.Affected if Log entries show successful or attempted path traversal attacks against the application
-
Check authentication bypass indicatorsExamine application logs for successful authentication from unusual IP addresses, or check if unauthenticated requests can access protected resources by manipulating URL paths.Affected if Unauthenticated access to protected files is possible via path traversal in the URL
You are affected if aEnrich a+HRD version 6.8 is running and the web interface is accessible without proper URL path filtering configured.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor patches or upgrade to a fixed version immediately; configure WAF rules to block path traversal patterns and unauthorized access attempts as an interim compensating control.
