CVE-2025-2652 is a vulnerability in SourceCodester Employee and Visitor Gate Pass Logging System 1.0, classified as problematic due to exposure of information through directory listing. It affects an unknown functionality across multiple sub-directories, enabling remote attackers to access sensitive directory contents without authentication.
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by unauthenticated attackers with low complexity and no user interaction required, as indicated by its CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). Successful exploitation allows attackers to view directory listings, potentially disclosing file names, paths, or other configuration details that could aid further reconnaissance or attacks.
Advisories recommend changing configuration settings to mitigate the issue, such as disabling directory listing on affected web servers. The exploit has been publicly disclosed, with details available on platforms like GitHub and VulDB, increasing the risk of widespread use.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
AC-3 directly enforces authorization checks on access to files and directories, stopping unauthorized external exposure.
AC-6 limits granted privileges, reducing the chance that files or directories become reachable by external parties.
Requires secure baseline settings that disable directory listing on servers and file shares.
Restricts unnecessary server features such as automatic directory indexing.
Controls information flows so directory contents are not disclosed to unauthorized recipients.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Enforcing least-privilege permissions and authorization policies directly prevents unauthorized file/directory exposure.
Logical segmentation and access protections stop external parties from reaching files that should remain internal.
Hardened baselines and config management directly disable directory listing by default.
Lifecycle management includes applying secure configurations that would prevent directory exposure.
Vulnerability scanning can discover exposed directories so they can be remediated.
Data-at-rest protections such as encryption or ACLs reduce the impact of unintended file exposure.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Security testing in development and acceptance can detect and require remediation of exposed directory listings.
A.8.3's core (restricting access per policies via config, per-user/group rights, isolation, dynamic techniques, auth requirements, time-bound restrictions, encryption) directly stops exploitation of exposed directory listings by enforcing authorization on the directory and its contents; the bounded remainder is listings that surface non-sensitive or non-access-controlled resources (e.g. purely public static files with no sensitive exposure).
Secure coding practices ensure developers do not leave directory listing enabled on production web servers.
