Summary

CVE-2025-54160 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Synology Beedrive. Its CVSS base score is 7.8 (High).

Operationally, ranked at the 9th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-6 (Least Privilege) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires validation of path inputs to block traversal sequences that allow access outside the intended directory.

prevent

Limits the privileges of the BeeDrive process so that even successful traversal yields minimal ability to execute arbitrary code.

prevent

Enforces file-system access rules that can block unauthorized writes or executions attempted via the traversal vector.

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.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

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 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

detects

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.

prevents

Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.

prevents

Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.

mitigates

Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
