Published: 06 June 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-3485 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Alltena Allegra. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 12.9% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-3485 is a directory traversal vulnerability in the extractFileFromZip method of Allegra that leads to remote code execution. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of user-supplied paths before they are used in file operations, allowing an attacker to influence file extraction behavior on affected installations.
An authenticated remote attacker can supply a crafted path to the vulnerable method and achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the running process. The issue carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 and is tracked as CWE-22; exploitation requires valid credentials but no user interaction.
The referenced Zero Day Initiative advisory ZDI-25-254 and Alltena release notes for version 8.1.2 indicate that the vulnerability is addressed by applying the 8.1.2 update. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.0310 with no material increase since disclosure.
