Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

FUXA versions 1.1.12 and earlier contain a local file inclusion vulnerability in the /api/download endpoint. The affected component is the open-source FUXA industrial SCADA/HMI platform, which exposes this flaw to unauthenticated network requests and carries a CVSS 7.5 rating reflecting high confidentiality impact with no required privileges or user interaction.

An attacker with network access can supply crafted parameters to the download API and retrieve arbitrary files from the underlying server filesystem. Successful exploitation yields read access to sensitive configuration data, credentials, or other restricted content without authentication.

Public references consist of a proof-of-concept repository and the upstream FUXA project page; no vendor advisory or patch details are provided in the available sources. The CVE maintains an EPSS score near 0.38, indicating sustained moderate exploitation interest since disclosure.

PR.PS-01 partial match
blocks

Hardened runtime configuration (e.g., allow_url_include=off) directly blocks RFI even if code is flawed.

PR.PS-05 partial match
blocks

Execution restrictions can prevent the remote payload from running, while eliminating the weakness reduces the need for such controls.

PR.PS-06 partial match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices such as input validation and allow-listing of include paths directly prevent the weakness.
