RiteCMS version 3.1.0 and below suffers from an arbitrary file deletion via path traversal vulnerability in Admin Panel. Exploiting the vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to delete any file in the web root (along with any other file on the server that the PHP process user has the proper permissions to delete). Furthermore, an attacker might leverage the capability of arbitrary file deletion to circumvent certain web server security mechanisms such as deleting .htaccess file that would deactivate those security constraints.

In the MZ Automation LibIEC61850 in versions prior to 1.5.1 an unauthenticated attacker can craft a goose message, which may result in a denial of service.

**In what scenarios is my computer vulnerable?** For Windows 11 and Windows 10 the FAX service is not installed by default. To exploit this vulnerability, the Windows Fax and Scan feature needs to be enabled, and the Fax service needs to be running. Systems that do not have the Fax service running are not vulnerable. **How can I verify whether the Fax service is running?** 1. Hold the **Windows key** and press **R** on your keyboard. This will open the Run dialog. 2. Type _services.msc_ and press **Enter** to open the Services window. 3. Scroll through the list and locate the **Fax** service. * If the Fax service is not listed, Windows Fax and Scan is not enabled and the system is not vulnerable. * If the Fax service is listed but the status is not _Running_, then the system is not vulnerable at the time, but could be targeted if the service was started. The update should be installed as soon as possible or the Fax service should be removed if not needed.

Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigating factors may be helpful in your situation: **1\. Block TCP port 445 at the enterprise perimeter firewall** TCP port 445 is used to initiate a connection with the affected component. Blocking this port at the network perimeter firewall will help protect systems that are behind that firewall from attempts to exploit this vulnerability. This can help protect networks from attacks that originate outside the enterprise perimeter. Blocking the affected ports at the enterprise perimeter is the best defense to help avoid Internet-based attacks. **However, systems could still be vulnerable to attacks from within their enterprise perimeter.** **2\. Follow Microsoft guidelines to secure SMB traffic** Secure SMB Traffic in Windows Server.

**What information could be disclosed through this vulnerability?** An attacker could potentially read small portions of heap memory.

**Why is Attack Complexity marked as High for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.

**Why is Attack Complexity marked as High for this vulnerability?** Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** The type of information that could be disclosed if an attacker successfully exploited this vulnerability is the contents of Kernel memory. An attacker could read the contents of Kernel memory from a user mode process.
