CVE-2025-69820
MEDIUMCVE-2025-69820 is a medium-severity (CVSS 6) Path Traversal vulnerability in aws/aws-sdk-php. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2025-69820 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Potential URI resolution path traversal in the AWS SDK for PHP
Real-World Exposure
aws/aws-sdk-phpReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Directory Traversal vulnerability in Beam beta9 v.0.1.521 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via the joinCleanPath function.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🐘Packagist | aws/aws-sdk-php | all versions | 3.288.1 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for aws/aws-sdk-php. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update aws/aws-sdk-php to 3.288.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-69820 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2025-69820 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2025-69820. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2025-69820 in your dependencies?
O3 detects CVE-2025-69820 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
