Summary

CVE-2025-30005 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Xorcom Completepbx. Its CVSS base score is 8.3 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 1.3% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Deeper analysis

Xorcom CompletePBX versions up to and including 5.2.35 contain a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the Diagnostics reporting module. The flaw permits an attacker to supply crafted paths that result in arbitrary file reads, after which the retrieved file is deleted in place of the expected report output.

An authenticated user with network access can exploit the issue without user interaction. Successful attacks yield high confidentiality and integrity impact by exposing sensitive files on the system and permanently removing them, while availability is only partially affected.

The vendor released CompletePBX 5.2.36-1 to address the vulnerability, as noted in the accompanying advisory from Xorcom and the detailed write-up published by VulnCheck. Organizations should apply the update promptly and restrict access to the Diagnostics module until patched.

The EPSS score has reached a peak of 0.7471 with a current value of 0.7019, indicating sustained exploitation interest following disclosure.

Why these techniques?

Path traversal in public-facing PBX web diagnostics module directly enables remote file read (T1005) and deletion (T1070.004) by low-priv users, which is exploitation of a public-facing application (T1190).
