Summary

CVE-2026-30403 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Wgstart Wgcloud. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 23.2th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-30403 is an arbitrary file read vulnerability, classified under CWE-22, affecting the test connection function in the backend database management component of wgcloud versions 3.6.3 and earlier. This flaw allows unauthorized access to any file on the affected server. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) and was published on 2026-03-19T17:16:23.950.

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity and without requiring user interaction. Successful exploitation enables the attacker to read arbitrary files on the victim's server, potentially disclosing sensitive configuration data, credentials, or other critical information.

Related Threats

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1005 Data from Local System Collection
Adversaries may search local system sources, such as file systems, configuration files, local databases, virtual machine files, or process memory, to find files of interest and sensitive data prior to Exfiltration.
T1552.001 Credentials In Files Credential Access
Adversaries may search local file systems and remote file shares for files containing insecurely stored credentials.
Why these techniques?

Arbitrary file read (path traversal) in a network-accessible web/backend component directly enables remote exploitation of public-facing applications (T1190) and collection of arbitrary local files (T1005), including credential files (T1552.001).
