CVE-2024-48248 is an absolute path traversal vulnerability in NAKIVO Backup & Replication before version 11.0.0.88174. The flaw is exposed through the /c/router endpoint via the getImageByPath method and allows an unauthenticated attacker to supply an absolute filesystem path and read arbitrary files from the underlying system. The issue has been described as an arbitrary file-read condition and has been publicly disclosed with proof-of-concept exploit code. Available reporting also notes that access to sensitive files may expose cleartext credentials associated with PhysicalDiscovery, creating a plausible path to broader compromise and possible remote code execution in enterprise environments.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-48248, an unauthenticated arbitrary file read vulnerability in NAKIVO Backup and Replication Solution version 10.11.3.86570 and below. The repository consists of a Python script and a README file. The Python script takes a target URL and a file path as arguments, then sends a crafted POST request to the '/c/router' endpoint of the NAKIVO web interface. The request abuses the 'getImageByPath' method to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem, returning the file contents to the attacker. The exploit does not require authentication and works over HTTPS. The README provides usage instructions, affected versions, and references. No fake or malicious code is present; the script is a legitimate PoC for the described vulnerability.
