CVE-2025-37094
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 directory traversal arbitrary file deletion vulnerability exists in HPE StoreOnce Software.
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 confidenceA directory traversal vulnerability in HPE StoreOnce Software allows attackers to use '..' path sequences to navigate outside intended directories and delete arbitrary files on the system. The critical CVSS score of 9.1 reflects the combination of traversal attack surface and the destructive impact of arbitrary file deletion.

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 HPE StoreOnce Software versionAccess the StoreOnce management interface or use the system information command to retrieve the installed software version. Compare against the affected version range.Affected if Installed version is less than 4.3.11
-
Determine if remote administrative access is enabledReview the StoreOnce system configuration for exposed management interfaces (HTTP/HTTPS API or web UI) that accept authenticated connections from network segments.Affected if Remote administrative interfaces are accessible to untrusted networks or users.
-
Review file system audit logs for anomalous deletion patternsExamine system and storage audit logs for file deletion operations that target paths outside expected backup or storage directories, particularly those containing '..' sequences in the request path.Affected if Logs show file deletion requests with directory traversal patterns or deletions outside designated storage locations.
-
Check for unexpected file or directory removalCompare current backup catalogs and storage folder structures against known-good baselines or recent backups to identify missing or deleted content.Affected if Files or directories are missing without legitimate administrative action.
A user is affected if their HPE StoreOnce System version is below 4.3.11 AND the administrative interface is accessible to the attacker, enabling malicious directory traversal-based file deletion.

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 · scoped4.3.11
Apply vendor-provided patches immediately. If no patch is available, restrict network access to the StoreOnce management interfaces and implement additional file system ACLs to limit the impact of any traversal-based deletion attempts.
4.3.11
- Check the current version of HPE StoreOnce Software.
- Download the fixed version (4.3.11 or later) from the HPE support portal (support.hpe.com).
- Follow HPE's official upgrade procedure for StoreOnce System to install the new version.
- Verify that the upgrade was successful and the system is running version 4.3.11 or later.
- Review the release notes to confirm the vulnerability is remediated.
