Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
RockMongo 1.1.5 and earlier has a directory traversal issue that can let a remote attacker read files from the server through the ROCK_LANG cookie. For leaders, the concern is exposure of configuration files, credentials, or other sensitive host data if an old RockMongo instance is reachable.
Executive priority
Prioritize if RockMongo is internet-facing or used near sensitive databases or configuration files. The product and version are old, and the impact is sensitive file disclosure, but the bundle does not confirm active exploitation.
Technical view
CVE-2013-5107 is a directory traversal vulnerability in RockMongo 1.1.5 and earlier. The CVE description identifies the ROCK_LANG cookie, with login.index to index.php as the demonstrated path. Public data in the bundle does not provide CVSS, CWE mapping, patch version, or detailed vendor remediation.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely where legacy RockMongo 1.1.5 or earlier remains deployed, especially if reachable by untrusted users. The source bundle does not identify other affected products or CPEs.
Exploitation context
The provided sources describe remote arbitrary file read but do not state active exploitation. CISA KEV status is false in the bundle, so treat exploitation as possible from the flaw description, not confirmed in the wild.
Researcher notes
The evidence is narrow: CVE description and Trustwave advisory reference identify traversal through ROCK_LANG. No CVSS, CWE, CPE, exploit-in-the-wild evidence, or fixed release is included in the bundle. Avoid expanding affected scope beyond RockMongo 1.1.5 and earlier.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory for RockMongo 1.1.5 and earlier installations.
- Check RockMongo or Trustwave guidance for fixed versions or retirement advice.
- Restrict access to RockMongo administration interfaces while assessing exposure.
- Review affected hosts for sensitive files that may have been readable.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether RockMongo is present and determine its exact version.
- Check whether any instance is reachable from untrusted networks.
- Review web logs for requests involving the ROCK_LANG cookie.
- Verify remediation against vendor guidance before returning service to normal exposure.
