CVE-2025-65076
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 · uneditedWaveView client allows users to execute restricted set of predefined commands and scripts on the connected WaveStore Server. A malicious attacker with high-privileges is able to read or delete any file on the server using path traversal in the ilog script. This script is being run with root privileges. This issue was fixed in version 6.44.44
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 confidencePath traversal vulnerability in the WaveView client's ilog script allows authenticated high-privilege attackers to read or delete arbitrary files on the connected WaveStore Server by using '../' sequences to escape the intended directory. The script runs with root privileges, enabling full filesystem access.

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.
-
Check the installed Wavestore VMS Server versionLocate the WaveStore server installation and run: 'wavestore --version' or check the software version in the system information panel. On Linux, also check /opt/wavestore version file if it exists.Affected if The installed version is 6.42.4 or lower.
-
Verify the ilog script exists and is accessibleLocate the ilog script in the WaveView client installation directory (commonly in the client bin or scripts folder). Check file permissions with 'ls -la ilog' or equivalent.Affected if The ilog script exists and is executable by high-privilege users.
-
Confirm high-privilege user access to ilogReview which user accounts have execute permissions on the ilog script. Check if the script runs with elevated privileges by examining its ownership and sudo configuration.Affected if High-privilege or administrator accounts can execute the ilog script.
-
Inspect ilog script configuration for path traversal safeguardsExamine the ilog script source code or configuration for input validation. Look for lack of sanitization on file path parameters that could accept '../' sequences.Affected if The ilog script lacks proper input validation on file path parameters.
You are affected if your Wavestore VMS Server version is 6.42.4 or lower AND the ilog script is accessible to authenticated high-privilege users without proper path traversal safeguards.

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 · scopedUpgrade WaveView client to version 6.44.44 or later. Until patched, restrict high-privilege account access and monitor for suspicious file access patterns using the ilog command.
6.44.44
- 1. Verify current installed version of WaveView/WaveStore Video Management Software Server
- 2. Download version 6.44.44 or later from the official vendor (www.wavestore.com)
- 3. Backup all current configurations and data according to vendor backup procedures
- 4. Stop the WaveStore Server service
- 5. Install the updated version (6.44.44) following the vendor's upgrade documentation
- 6. Verify the installation was successful
- 7. Restart the WaveStore Server service
- 8. Confirm the ilog script functionality works correctly and the path traversal vulnerability is remediated
