# CVE-2025-64152: Apache IoTDB has a Path Traversal vulnerability

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 0.5% , percentile 45: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.5% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 45% of all scored CVEs (low). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes org.apache.iotdb:iotdb-server (Maven) >= 1.0.0, < 1.3.6, fixed in 1.3.6 ; org.apache.iotdb:iotdb-server (Maven) >= 2.0.0, < 2.0.7, fixed in 2.0.7 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
