CVE-2026-41459
MediumCVSS 5.3Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Elevated risk52th percentile - higher than 52% of all known CVEs
Summary
Xerte Online Toolkits versions 3.15 and earlier contain an information disclosure vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the full server-side filesystem path of the application root. Attackers can send a GET request to the /setup page to access the exposed root_path value rendered in the HTML response.
Risk Assessment
Exposing the system path facilitates exploitation of path-dependent vulnerabilities such as relative path traversal in connector.php, potentially leading to unauthorized file access.
Recommendation
Immediately update Xerte Online Toolkits to a version later than 3.15 which fixes this vulnerability. Until then, restrict access to the /setup page using firewall rules or authentication.
