CVE-2023-2273: 
Rapid7 Insight Cloud Agent vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2023-2273 is a Directory Traversal vulnerability that was discovered in the Rapid7 Insight Agent. The vulnerability was disclosed on April 26, 2023, affecting all Insight Agent versions up to and including version 3.2.6. The vulnerability exists in the CLI arguments processing where input validation was insufficient (NVD, Rapid7 Notes).

The vulnerability is classified as a Path Traversal issue (CWE-22) where unsanitized input in CLI arguments could be used as a path in ioutil.WriteFile operations. This security flaw allowed potential manipulation of file paths, which could lead to arbitrary file writing capabilities on the affected system (NVD).

The vulnerability could allow an attacker to write arbitrary files to the system through manipulation of file paths, potentially leading to unauthorized file system access and system compromise (NVD, Rapid7 Notes).

Rapid7 addressed this vulnerability in Insight Agent version 3.3.0. The fix includes input validation to reject attempts at Directory Traversal exploitation. Organizations are strongly recommended to update all affected Insight Agents to version 3.3.0 to address this security issue (Rapid7 Notes).
