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
Path traversal vulnerability in MosP kintai kanri V4.6.6 and earlier allows a remote attacker who can log in to the product to obtain sensitive information of the product.

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 confidence

A path traversal vulnerability in MosP kintai kanri V4.6.6 and earlier allows authenticated remote attackers to access files outside the intended directory by manipulating file path inputs, enabling disclosure of sensitive product information.

MitigationImplement strict input validation and path sanitization for all file path parameters, ensuring paths are canonicalized and restricted to allowed directories. 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 if MosP kintai kanri is installed
    Search for MosP-related directories or web applications on the system. Common locations include application servers (Tomcat, etc.) or web root directories. Look for files or directories containing 'mosp' or 'kintai' in the name.
    Affected if MosP kintai kanri software is found on the system
  2. Determine the installed version
    Check version information in the application typically found in: 1) Version files in the installation directory, 2) The application configuration files, 3) The application's main JAR file properties, 4) Any about/info page exposed by the web interface. Compare the version number to 4.6.6.
    Affected if Installed version is 4.6.6 or earlier
  3. Verify web interface accessibility
    Check if the MosP application is exposed via HTTP/HTTPS. Identify the URL path used to access the application (commonly /mosp or /kintai). Confirm the application is reachable over the network.
    Affected if The web interface is accessible from the network and accepts file path parameters via HTTP requests
  4. Confirm authentication is required
    Review the application's login mechanism and access controls. Verify whether unauthenticated users can reach endpoints that accept file path parameters. Attempt to access file-related functionality without credentials if testing in an authorized environment.
    Affected if The application accepts file path parameters without requiring authentication, or allows authenticated users to pass arbitrary paths to file operations
  5. Check for sensitive file exposure
    If the application is exposed and accepts file path inputs, test (in an authorized manner only) whether directory traversal sequences like ../ can be used to access files outside the web root. Inspect application logs for any path traversal attempts or access to sensitive directories.
    Affected if File path parameters can be manipulated to access files outside the intended directory (e.g., using ../ sequences)

The system is affected if MosP kintai kanri version 4.6.6 or earlier is installed and the web interface exposes file path parameters to authenticated users without proper sanitization.
