      "value": "Wazuh 4.0.0 before 4.14.6 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to cause denial of service by enrolling an agent with a dot-sequence name such as \"..\" through the enrollment port. Attackers exploit insufficient validation in OS_IsValidName() and unsafe path concatenation in delete_diff() to resolve the traversal to the parent queue directory, causing its subdirectories to be removed and stopping all Wazuh services requiring manual recovery."

      "value": "Wazuh 4.0.0 anterior a 4.14.6 contiene una vulnerabilidad de salto de ruta que permite a atacantes remotos no autenticados causar denegación de servicio al registrar un agente con un nombre de secuencia de puntos como ’..’ a través del puerto de registro. Los atacantes explotan la validación insuficiente en OS_IsValidName() y la concatenación de rutas insegura en delete_diff() para resolver el salto al directorio de cola padre, lo que provoca la eliminación de sus subdirectorios y la detención de todos los servicios de Wazuh, lo que requiere recuperación manual."
