Two high-severity vulnerabilities were disclosed in Census CSWeb 8.0.1, including CVE-2025-60949, which exposed the app/config path over HTTP in some deployments and allowed a remote, unauthenticated attacker to retrieve configuration files and leaked secrets, and CVE-2025-60946, a path traversal flaw that let a remote authenticated attacker access unintended file directories. The issues were classified as CWE-200 and CWE-22 respectively, with both carrying high impact ratings.
The configuration exposure flaw was scored with a CVSS v3.1 vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N, while the path traversal issue received AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, reflecting broader impact including availability. Both vulnerabilities were reported as fixed in Census CSWeb 8.1.0 alpha, and the published records referenced a fixing GitHub commit, an exploit-related repository, a CISA CSAF advisory, and the official CVE entries.
