Recommended action
Patch only the product branches with a verified fix

Medium technical severity with no CISA KEV confirmation; remediate through the normal risk-based patch cycle unless local exposure raises the priority. Verified remediation exists for at least one product or source, but 9 structured product or package states remain unresolved. Apply remediation only to the exact product branch confirmed by its source.

Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • EPSS is 0.46% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Siemens Mendix Studio Pro 10 and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: As exposure requiresRemediation target: Within 365 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

Cross-source reconciliation

Remediation availability differs by product scope

Verified remediation exists for at least one product or source, but 9 structured product or package states remain unresolved. Apply remediation only to the exact product branch confirmed by its source.

Summary
A zip path traversal vulnerability exists in the module installation process of Studio Pro. By crafting a malicious module and distributing it via (for example) the Mendix Marketplace, an attacker could write or modify arbitrary files in directories outside a developer’s project directory upon module installation.

What, why and how

A vulnerability has been identified in Mendix Studio Pro 10 (All versions < V10.24.24 for Windows), Mendix Studio Pro 10 (All versions < V10.24.24 for Mac), Mendix Studio Pro 11 (All versions < V11.13.0 for Windows), Mendix Studio Pro 11 (All versions < V11.13.0 for Mac), Mendix Studio Pro 11.12 (All versions < V11.12.2 for Windows), Mendix Studio Pro 11.12 (All versions < V11.12.2 for Mac), Mendix Studio Pro 11.6 (All versions < V11.6.9 for Windows), Mendix Studio Pro 11.6 (All versions < V11.6.9 for Mac), Mendix Studio Pro 9 (All versions < V9.24.44 for Windows). A zip path traversal vulnerability exists in the module installation process of Studio Pro. By crafting a malicious module and distributing it via (for example) the Mendix Marketplace, an attacker could write or modify arbitrary files in directories outside a developer’s project directory upon module installation.

What

A vulnerability has been identified in Mendix Studio Pro 10 (All versions < V10.24.24 for Windows), Mendix Studio Pro 10 (All versions < V10.24.24 for Mac), Mendix Studio Pro 11 (All versions < V11.13.0 for Windows), Mendix Studio Pro 11 (All versions < V11.13.0 for Mac), Mendix Studio Pro 11.12 (All versions < V11.12.2 for Windows), Mendix Studio Pro 11.12 (All versions < V11.12.2 for Mac), Mendix Studio Pro 11.6 (All versions < V11.6.9 for Windows), Mendix Studio Pro 11.6 (All versions < V11.6.9 for Mac), Mendix Studio Pro 9 (All versions < V9.24.44 for Windows). A zip path traversal vulnerability exists in the module installation process of Studio Pro. By crafting a malicious module and distributing it via (for example) the Mendix Marketplace, an attacker could write or modify arbitrary files in directories outside a developer’s project directory upon module installation.

Why

Attacker-controlled path data is not constrained to the intended directory before the application accesses a file.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation when the stated preconditions are met. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
Attack surface
Network
Privileges required
None: unauthenticated exploitation is possible
User interaction
Active interaction required
Attack complexity
High: exploitation depends on specific conditions
Security boundary
Not a CVSS 4.0 base metric
Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-22 ↗

CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'). The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:H/SA:N

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 4.0: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVNetworkAttack vector: The vulnerable component can be reached over a network.ACHighAttack complexity: Successful exploitation depends on specific conditions outside the attacker's direct control.ATNoneAttack requirements: No additional deployment or execution condition is required.PRNonePrivileges required: The attacker does not need an account or existing privileges.UIActiveUser interaction: A user must take a deliberate action for exploitation to succeed.VCNoneVulnerable-system confidentiality: No direct loss is represented by this metric.VINoneVulnerable-system integrity: No direct loss is represented by this metric.VANoneVulnerable-system availability: No direct loss is represented by this metric.SCNoneSubsequent-system confidentiality: No direct loss is represented by this metric.SIHighSubsequent-system integrity: A successful attack can cause a major loss.SANoneSubsequent-system availability: No direct loss is represented by this metric.

Patch and workaround

Operational remediation based on structured source evidence.

Status
?Patch availability is based on structured fixed-version fields and authoritative update references. If no fix is verified, check the vendor advisory before making a change.
Fix availability varies by product
Affected
Fixed
Update to V10.24.24 or later version
Action
Use the product-specific evidence above. Patch only products with a verified fixed release, and keep every affected or under-investigation state without a matching fix in the remediation queue.
Workaround
No verified workaround is recorded. If business-safe, reduce exposure to the affected interface and allow only trusted sources until authoritative guidance is available.
