CVE-2024-51163
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 · uneditedA Local File Inclusion vulnerability in Vegam Solutions Vegam 4i versions 6.3.47.0 and earlier allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information through the print label function. Specifically, the filePathList parameter is susceptible to LFI, enabling a malicious user to include files from the web server, such as web.config or /etc/host, leading to the disclosure of sensitive information.
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 confidenceLocal File Inclusion vulnerability in Vegam 4i's print label function allows remote attackers to traverse directories via the filePathList parameter, enabling reading of sensitive files like web.config or /etc/host. The lack of proper input validation on this parameter permits path traversal attacks.

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 if Vegam 4i is present in your environmentSearch for Vegam 4i software installation directories, check running services, or look for web application endpoints that serve Vegam 4i functionalityAffected if Vegam 4i software is installed and accessible on the system
-
Determine the installed Vegam 4i versionCheck the application version information typically found in the software itself, about page, or check version files in the installation directoryAffected if The installed version is lower than 6.3.47.0 (the patched version)
-
Locate the print label functionAccess the Vegam 4i web interface and navigate to the print label feature, or examine the application's URL structure for endpoints related to label printingAffected if The print label function is accessible and accepts a filePathList parameter
-
Verify the filePathList parameter accepts path traversalIf you have authorized access to test your own environment, send a benign request with a pattern like ../../ in the filePathList parameter and observe if directory traversal is permittedAffected if The application allows directory traversal characters without blocking or sanitizing them in the filePathList parameter
-
Confirm the web server runs with privileges that could expose sensitive filesCheck the service account or user context under which the Vegam 4i application runs, and verify file permissions on system files like web.config or /etc/hostAffected if The application runs with permissions that allow reading sensitive system or configuration files outside the intended directory
You are affected if Vegam 4i is installed with a version lower than 6.3.47.0 and the print label function with the vulnerable filePathList parameter is 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.
From vendor dataImplement strict input validation on the filePathList parameter using a whitelist approach, restrict file access to allowed directories, and apply vendor patch for version 6.3.47.0 or later.
