CVE-2018-25393: Navigate CMS 2.8.5 Path Traversal via navigate_download.php
Navigate CMS 2.8.5 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated users to download arbitrary files by injecting directory traversal sequences in the id parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to navigate_download.php with path traversal payloads ../../../cfg/globals.php to access sensitive configuration files and system files outside the intended directory.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Navigate CMS 2.8.5 can let a logged-in user download files outside the intended download area. The main business risk is exposure of sensitive configuration or system files, which may reveal credentials or operational details. The provided sources do not show confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is limited to organizations running Navigate CMS 2.8.5, especially internet-facing instances with authenticated user access. The bundle does not identify other affected versions or products. Treat as high priority if Navigate CMS 2.8.5 is deployed. The issue can expose confidential files with only authenticated access, and public exploit material is referenced. Prioritize containment, vendor guidance review, and credential exposure assessment. Mitigation focus: Identify and prioritize all Navigate CMS 2.8.5 deployments.; Check Navigate CMS and advisory guidance for an official fixed version or workaround.; Restrict Navigate CMS access to trusted networks and least-privilege authenticated users..

CWE-22: File access and web shell behavior lookup
File traversal and upload weaknesses can lead teams to review file, web shell, execution, and collection telemetry. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references file access or upload behavior, so file telemetry and web shell review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
