wcurl 2024.12.08 < 2025.11.04 Path Traversal

high Nessus Plugin ID 274434

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of wcurl installed on the remote host is prior to 2025.11.04. It is, therefore, affected by a path traversal vulnerability when the URL contains a percent-encoded slash.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to wcurl version 2025.11.04 or later
