CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedWazuh versions prior to 4.14.6 are vulnerable to a path traversal flaw that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to disrupt services by enrolling an agent with a specially crafted name, leading to denial of service. This vulnerability arises from inadequate input validation and unsafe path handling, resulting in the deletion of critical subdirectories and necessitating manual recovery of Wazuh services. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of service disruption.

Original NVD Description
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.
