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 · unedited
Directory Traversal vulnerability in Terrasoft, Creatio Terrasoft CRM v.7.18.4.1532 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via a crafted request to the terrasoft.axd component.

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 confidence

A directory traversal vulnerability in the terrasoft.axd handler of Terrasoft CRM v7.18.4.1532 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access arbitrary files on the server by using '../' path traversal sequences in crafted HTTP requests, potentially exposing sensitive system configuration files and credentials.

MitigationImplement strict input validation on all file path parameters to reject traversal sequences ('../'), restrict the terrasoft.axd handler to authorized users only, and apply principle of least privilege to file system access controls.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed Creatio/Terrasoft CRM version
    Locate the version information in the Creatio installation directory, typically in assembly metadata, configuration files, or the About section of the application. Common paths include the web.config file or application binaries.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 7.18.4.1532 (exact match per affected version listing)
  2. Confirm the terrasoft.axd handler is present and enabled
    Check the web server configuration (IIS web.config, Apache config, or the application's handler mappings) for a registration of 'terrasoft.axd' as an HTTP handler.
    Affected if The terrasoft.axd handler is registered and enabled on the web server
  3. Verify unauthenticated access to terrasoft.axd
    Send a direct HTTP request to the terrasoft.axd endpoint without any authentication credentials. For example: GET /terrasoft.axd or GET /[path]/terrasoft.axd
    Affected if The handler responds to unauthenticated requests (no login prompt or 401/403 error)
  4. Test for path traversal vulnerability (optional - may be disruptive)
    If authorized, send a crafted request with '../' sequences to attempt directory traversal, such as: GET /terrasoft.axd?file=../../web.config
    Affected if The application returns file contents from outside the intended directory, confirming the vulnerability exists

You are affected if your Creatio CRM installation is exactly version 7.18.4.1532 AND the terrasoft.axd handler is exposed to unauthenticated users.
