Path Traversal in Kovai Biztalk360 ≤ 11.6.3963.2611
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:LCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2025-59711 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Kovai Biztalk360. Its CVSS base score is 8.3 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow (T1003.008); ranked in the top 49% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-59711 is a directory traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) affecting Biztalk360 versions prior to 11.5. It stems from improper handling of user-supplied input in an upload mechanism, allowing path manipulation that can result in writes outside the intended destination directory or coercion of service authentication. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.3, reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and low-privileged authenticated access with high impact on confidentiality and integrity plus limited availability consequences.
An authenticated attacker with network access can exploit the issue to achieve arbitrary file writes or force authentication interactions from the Biztalk360 service, potentially leading to further compromise such as remote code execution. The EPSS score remains low at 0.0118 with no material increase from its peak.
The referenced Synacktiv advisory details the remote code execution path reachable from any domain account and provides guidance on upgrading to the fixed release. No evidence of in-the-wild exploitation is supplied in the available data.

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.

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.
