Mozart FM Transmitter, Path Traversal, CVE-2025-66251 (Critical)

Listen to this Post

How the CVE Works

The vulnerability resides in the `deletehidden` parameter of the Mozart FM Transmitter web interface. This parameter, accessible without authentication, does not properly sanitize user input. An attacker can craft a malicious HTTP GET request containing directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../../) within this parameter. The application concatenates this unsanitized input to a target directory path intended for deleting `.tgz` backup files. Because the server fails to validate the final resolved path, the attacker can escape the intended directory and point the deletion operation to any `.tgz` file accessible by the web server process. This leads to the unauthenticated, arbitrary deletion of critical system or application archive files, potentially causing a denial-of-service or impairing device functionality.

How Exploit:

1. Attacker identifies target Mozart transmitter web interface.

  1. Sends crafted HTTP request with traversal in `deletehidden` parameter.
  2. Server processes request, resolves path, deletes specified `.tgz` file.

4. Attack succeeds without credentials.

Protection from this CVE

1. Apply vendor patch.

2. Implement input validation.

3. Use web application firewall.

Impact:

Arbitrary file deletion, system disruption, denial-of-service.
