CVE-2025-11031
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A flaw has been found in DataTables up to 1.10.13. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /examples/resources/examples.php. This manipulation of the argument src causes path traversal. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. Upgrading to version 1.10.15 is sufficient to fix this issue. Patch name: 3b24f99ac4ddb7f9072076b0d07f0b1a408f177a. Upgrading the affected component is advised. This vulnerability was initially reported for code-projects Faculty Management System but appears to affect DataTables as an upstream component instead. The vendor of DataTables explains: "I would suggest that the author upgrade to the latest versions of DataTables (actually, they shouldn't really be deploying that file to their own server at all - it is only relevant for the DataTables examples)."

"value": "Se ha encontrado una falla en DataTables hasta la versión 1.10.13. El elemento afectado es una función desconocida del archivo /examples/resources/examples.php. Esta manipulación del argumento src causa salto de ruta. Es posible iniciar el ataque de forma remota. El exploit ha sido publicado y puede ser utilizado. Actualizar a la versión 1.10.15 es suficiente para solucionar este problema. Nombre del parche: 3b24f99ac4ddb7f9072076b0d07f0b1a408f177a. Se aconseja actualizar el componente afectado. Esta vulnerabilidad fue inicialmente reportada para code-projects Faculty Management System pero parece afectar a DataTables como un componente ascendente en su lugar. El proveedor de DataTables explica: 'Sugiero que el autor actualice a las últimas versiones de DataTables (en realidad, no deberían desplegar ese archivo en su propio servidor en absoluto, solo es relevante para los ejemplos de DataTables).'"
