CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedWazuh versions prior to 4.14.6 are vulnerable to a path traversal flaw that enables authenticated cluster peers to delete arbitrary directory contents by exploiting a crafted node name in the cluster hello payload. This vulnerability can be exploited by attackers with a valid cluster Fernet key, potentially leading to significant data loss within the Wazuh installation path. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of unauthorized data deletion.

Original NVD Description
Wazuh 4.0.0 before 4.14.6 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated cluster peers to delete arbitrary directory contents by supplying a traversal-shaped node name in the cluster hello payload without validation. Attackers holding a valid cluster Fernet key can craft a malicious node name and disconnect, triggering the master's peer cleanup routine to remove the contents of arbitrary directories within the Wazuh installation path writable by the wazuh user.
