CVE-2023-7335
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 · uneditedEduSoho versions prior to 22.4.7 contain an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the classroom-course-statistics export functionality. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can supply crafted path traversal sequences in the fileNames[] parameter to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem, including application configuration files such as config/parameters.yml that may contain secrets and database credentials. Exploitation evidence was observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2026-01-19 (UTC).
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.

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.
-
Confirm EduSoho is installedLocate the EduSoho installation directory and identify the version file or composer.json that contains the version numberAffected if EduSoho is not present on the server - the CVE does not apply
-
Determine installed versionLocate the version file (typically version file in the root directory or the version defined in composer.json) and compare it to 22.4.7Affected if Installed version is lower than 22.4.7 - the version is vulnerable
-
Check if classroom-course-statistics export is accessibleIdentify if the classroom-course-statistics export route exists in the application's routing configuration, typically found in src/AppBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml or similar routing filesAffected if The route does not exist or is not accessible - the attack surface may not be present
-
Verify fileNames parameter acceptanceExamine the controller handling the classroom-course-statistics export action to confirm it accepts a fileNames[] parameter for file processingAffected if The application does not accept fileNames[] parameter in this endpoint - the specific vulnerability path may not exist
The server is affected if EduSoho version is below 22.4.7 AND the classroom-course-statistics export functionality with fileNames[] parameter is present and accessible.

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 · scopedUpgrade to EduSoho version 22.4.7 or later to patch the path traversal vulnerability; if immediate patching is not feasible, block or restrict unauthenticated access to the classroom-course-statistics export endpoint at the network level.
EduSoho 22.4.7 or later
- Upgrade EduSoho to version 22.4.7 or later to remediate the path traversal vulnerability
- If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict access to the classroom-course-statistics export functionality at the web server or application firewall level
- Review server filesystem permissions to limit the web server process access to only necessary directories
- Audit access logs for suspicious requests containing '../' sequences in fileNames[] parameter
