CVE-2025-5964 is a path traversal vulnerability in an API endpoint of M-Files Server affecting versions before 25.6.14925.0. The flaw allows an authenticated user to supply crafted path input that traverses outside the intended directory scope, resulting in unauthorized read access to files on the server. Based on the available information, the issue is limited to file read via the vulnerable API endpoint; no specific vulnerable function or handler name is provided in the source content.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit in C for a suspected path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2025-5964) in M-Files version 25.6.14925.0. The main file, 'exploit.c', is a command-line tool that takes a target URL and attempts to read sensitive files (such as /etc/passwd) from the server by injecting various path traversal payloads into three REST API query parameters: 'q', 'o', and 'd' of the '/REST/objects.aspx' endpoint. The tool rotates User-Agent strings to evade basic filtering, analyzes HTTP responses for UNIX file markers, and flags potential LFI hits. The exploit is a PoC and not a confirmed working exploit, as the author did not have access to a real M-Files instance for testing. The code is well-commented, includes basic error handling, and is intended for research and authorized security testing only. The repository contains three files: a license, a README with detailed usage instructions, and the main exploit code. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the target URL is supplied by the user at runtime.
