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
A vulnerability was found in 1541492390c yougou-mall up to 0a771fa817c924efe52c8fe0a9a6658eee675f9f. This impacts the function upload/delete of the file src/main/java/per/ccm/ygmall/extra/controller/ResourceController.java. Performing manipulation results in path traversal. This product is using a rolling release to provide continious delivery. Therefore, no version details for affected nor updated releases are available.

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

Path traversal vulnerability in the file upload/delete function of ResourceController.java in yougou-mall. An attacker can manipulate file path parameters to access or overwrite files outside the intended directory, potentially leading to unauthorized file system access.

MitigationImplement strict path validation and canonicalization on file paths before upload/delete operations. Restrict file operations to explicitly allowed directories and validate path traversal sequences (../) to prevent directory escape.

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. Locate ResourceController.java in the yougou-mall deployment
    Search the application source code or WAR/jar archive for the file ResourceController.java. If the application is deployed, check the application directory structure for controllers handling file operations.
    Affected if The file ResourceController.java exists and contains file upload/delete handlers without path validation logic.
  2. Identify file upload/delete endpoint configuration
    Examine ResourceController.java for methods handling file upload or deletion. Look for @RequestMapping, @PostMapping, @GetMapping, or @DeleteMapping annotations that expose file operation endpoints.
    Affected if File upload/delete endpoints are exposed (e.g., /resource/upload, /resource/delete) that accept a file path parameter.
  3. Check for path traversal protection in the code
    Review the file operation logic in ResourceController.java for path validation. Search for canonicalization (getCanonicalPath), path validation, or directory restriction checks before performing file operations.
    Affected if No path validation, canonicalization, or directory restriction is implemented before file operations, or validation can be bypassed.
  4. Verify allowed directory configuration
    Look for configuration defining allowed upload directories (e.g., uploadDir, basePath, allowedPath). Check if uploaded/deleted files are restricted to a specific base directory.
    Affected if No explicit allowed directory is defined, or the file path parameter can escape the intended directory using ../ sequences.
  5. Test path traversal vulnerability (if authorized)
    If you have authorization, send a request to the file upload/delete endpoint with a path parameter containing ../ sequences (e.g., ../../etc/passwd) to see if files outside the intended directory can be accessed or overwritten.
    Affected if The application allows path traversal sequences in the file path parameter, allowing access to files outside the intended upload directory.

If yougou-mall is deployed with ResourceController.java exposing file upload/delete endpoints that accept path parameters without strict path validation or directory restriction, the environment is affected by CVE-2025-14965.
