Summary

CVE-2025-9918 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Google SecOps SOAR (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).

Operationally, ranked in the top 22.0% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Deeper analysis

A Path Traversal vulnerability exists in the archive extraction component of Google SecOps SOAR Server versions 6.3.54.0, 6.3.53.2, and all earlier releases. The flaw, tracked as CWE-22, permits an authenticated user to upload a specially crafted ZIP archive containing directory traversal sequences during Use Case import operations, which can lead to arbitrary file writes on the server.

An attacker with permissions to import Use Cases can exploit the issue over the network to achieve remote code execution. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 reflects the combination of low attack complexity, no user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Public advisories referenced at cloud.google.com/chronicle/docs/security-bulletins#GCP-2025-049 and cloud.google.com/support/bulletins?gcp-2025-049 provide mitigation guidance and should be consulted for patch availability and recommended configurations.

The associated EPSS score remains flat at 0.0106 with no observed increase after disclosure.
