CVE-2024-34832
Published: 06 June 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-34832 is a critical-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Cubecart Cubecart. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 7.6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-34832 is a directory traversal vulnerability, tracked under CWE-22, that affects CubeCart versions 6.5.5 and earlier. The flaw resides in the handling of the _g and node parameters during file uploads and permits an unauthenticated attacker to supply a crafted file that traverses directories, ultimately enabling arbitrary code execution. It carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction.
An attacker with no prior access can send a malicious upload request to the affected parameters and achieve remote code execution on the server. Successful exploitation grants full control over the application and underlying host, including the ability to read, modify, or delete data and install persistent malware.
The two reference URLs both point to the same GitHub repository containing proof-of-concept material; no vendor advisory, patch information, or mitigation guidance is supplied in the available references.
EPSS for the CVE rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.1062 on 2025-12-11 before receding to the current value of 0.0830, indicating a modest but noticeable increase in exploitation interest after disclosure.
