CVE-2023-49108
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 · uneditedPath traversal vulnerability exists in RakRak Document Plus Ver.3.2.0.0 to Ver.6.4.0.7 (excluding Ver.6.1.1.3a). If this vulnerability is exploited, arbitrary files on the server may be obtained or deleted by a user of the product with specific privileges.
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 · high confidencePath traversal vulnerability in RakRak Document Plus versions 3.2.0.0 through 6.4.0.7 (excluding 6.1.1.3a) allows authenticated users with specific privileges to read or delete arbitrary files on the server by manipulating file paths in application requests.

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 installed version of RakRak Document PlusLocate the application version information in the software installation directory, help menu, about dialog, or administrative console. Common locations include version files, installer logs, or the application header/footer in the web interface.Affected if The installed version falls within >= 3.2.0.0 and < 6.1.1.3a, OR > 6.1.1.3a and <= 6.4.0.7
-
Confirm user authentication is enabledCheck the application security settings or authentication configuration to verify that user login functionality is active. Look for login pages, session management configuration, or user database settings.Affected if User authentication is enabled and users with file access privileges can log in to the application
-
Verify file operation features are accessibleInspect the application role or permission configuration to determine if any authenticated users have access to file upload, download, or file management features. Check user group definitions and privilege assignments.Affected if Authenticated users have privileges to perform file path-related operations such as file attachment handling, document management, or file import/export features
You are affected if the installed version is within the vulnerable range AND user authentication with file operation privileges is enabled in the application.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped6.1.1.3a
Upgrade to a patched version of RakRak Document Plus (vendor has indicated Ver.6.1.1.3a is excluded, suggesting a fix exists). Restrict file system access permissions for application service accounts to least privilege principle until patching is completed.
Version 6.4.0.8 or later (latest available version from rakrak.jp)
- 1. Identify the current installed version of Rakrak Document Plus by checking the application or system information.
- 2. Navigate to the official vendor website (rakrak.jp) or contact Rakrak support to obtain the latest version.
- 3. Download the latest stable version (version 6.4.0.8 or later).
- 4. Before upgrading, backup all important documents and configuration files stored in the application.
- 5. Stop the Rakrak Document Plus service if it is running.
- 6. Install the new version following the vendor's installation instructions.
- 7. After installation, verify that the service starts correctly.
- 8. Test that the path traversal vulnerability is no longer exploitable by attempting file access outside the intended directories (this should be done in a test environment first).
