CVE-2022-29509
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 · uneditedDirectory traversal vulnerability in T&D Data Server (Japanese Edition) Ver.2.22 and earlier, T&D Data Server (English Edition) Ver.2.30 and earlier, THERMO RECORDER DATA SERVER (Japanese Edition) Ver.2.13 and earlier, and THERMO RECORDER DATA SERVER (English Edition) Ver.2.13 and earlier allows a remote attacker to view an arbitrary file on the server via unspecified vectors.
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 confidenceDirectory traversal vulnerability in T&D Data Server and THERMO RECORDER DATA SERVER allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating file path parameters with traversal sequences (e.g., ../).

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 if T&D Data Server is runningCheck running services or processes for T&D Server, Thermo Recorder Data Server, or related service names. On Windows, check Services list; on Linux, check running processes with 'ps aux | grep -i tnd' or similar.Affected if The T&D Data Server or Thermo Recorder Data Server service is actively running on the system.
-
Determine the installed versionLocate the application version information. Check the About section in the web interface if accessible, or check the executable/properties of the server binary. Compare against affected versions: T&D Server <= 2.22 (Japanese), T&D Server <= 2.30 (English), Thermo Recorder <= 2.13.Affected if The installed version is at or below 2.22 for Japanese T&D Server, at or below 2.30 for English T&D Server, or at or below 2.13 for Thermo Recorder Data Server.
-
Verify web interface accessibilityDetermine if the web management interface is exposed to the network. Check firewall rules, listening ports (typically HTTP/HTTPS on configured ports), and whether the server is reachable from external or untrusted networks.Affected if The web interface is accessible from untrusted networks without proper access controls.
-
Confirm file path parameter feature is presentInspect the web application's available endpoints or parameters that handle file operations. Look for parameters that accept file paths or names, such as those used for data downloads, log retrieval, or file viewing features.Affected if The web interface exposes parameters that accept user-controlled file paths without apparent sanitization.
-
Test for directory traversal vulnerabilityIf authorized and the web interface is accessible, send HTTP requests with '../' sequences in file path parameters (e.g., ../../../../etc/passwd or ..\..\windows\system32\config\sam) to attempt accessing files outside the intended directory.Affected if The server returns file contents from paths outside the intended directory, confirming the traversal vulnerability is exploitable.
You are affected if T&D Data Server or Thermo Recorder Data Server is running with a version at or below the affected thresholds and the web interface with file path parameters is accessible to potential attackers.

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.
dbcve · scopedApply vendor patches for the affected versions (Ver.2.22 and earlier for Japanese T&D Data Server, Ver.2.30 and earlier for English T&D Data Server, Ver.2.13 and earlier for THERMO RECORDER). Implement strict input validation on file path parameters to reject traversal sequences.
T&D Data Server Japanese Edition 2.23+, English Edition 2.31+; THERMO RECORDER DATA SERVER 2.14+
- 1. Identify the exact product edition (Japanese or English) and product name (T&D Data Server or THERMO RECORDER DATA SERVER) currently installed
- 2. Visit the official T&D support page at tandd.com or www.tandd.co.jp to locate the latest version for your specific product
- 3. For T&D Data Server (Japanese Edition): upgrade to version 2.23 or later
- 4. For T&D Data Server (English Edition): upgrade to version 2.31 or later
- 5. For THERMO RECORDER DATA SERVER (both Japanese and English): upgrade to version 2.14 or later
- 6. After upgrading, verify the installation and test that the web interface functions normally
- 7. Confirm the directory traversal vulnerability is no longer exploitable by attempting to access files outside the intended web root directory
