CVE-2022-41547
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 · uneditedMobile Security Framework (MobSF) v0.9.2 and below was discovered to contain a local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the StaticAnalyzer/views.py script. This vulnerability allows attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted HTTP request.
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 analysisA PHP include or require path is built from user-controlled input, so an attacker can steer it to a remote URL or an unintended local file — and because the target is then executed as code, this often becomes remote code execution. It is the classic remote/local file-inclusion trap. The fix is never to build include paths from input: map requests to a fixed allow-list of includable files.

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 · scopedVersion higher than 0.9.2 (e.g., 0.9.3 or latest stable release)
- 1. Identify the current MobSF installation version by checking the version file or running the version command
- 2. Backup the current MobSF installation including configuration and database
- 3. Upgrade to a version higher than 0.9.2 that includes the fix (commit b9cdd1f)
- 4. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the new version number
- 5. Test that the StaticAnalyzer functionality works correctly after upgrade
- 6. Confirm the file inclusion vulnerability is no longer present by attempting the previously vulnerable request pattern (should be rejected)
