Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-41757, published on 2026-03-09, is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the backup restore functionality of UBR's ubr-restore component. This tool executes with elevated privileges but does not properly validate the contents of backup archives, allowing malicious manipulation during restoration. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its network accessibility and significant impacts.
A low-privileged remote attacker can exploit this issue by supplying a crafted backup archive to the ubr-restore functionality. Exploitation requires low complexity and no user interaction, enabling the attacker to create or overwrite arbitrary files anywhere on the system. This could result in privilege escalation, data tampering, or full system compromise, depending on the targeted files and the elevated context of the restore process.
Mitigation details are available in the vendor advisory at https://www.mbs-solutions.de/mbs-2025-0001.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.
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.
Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.
Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.
Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.
Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
