CVE-2016-10037 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in MODX Revolution versions prior to 2.5.2-pl. This flaw, located in the /connectors/index.php component, allows unauthenticated remote attackers to perform local file inclusion, traversal, or manipulation by crafting a malicious 'id' (or 'dir') parameter. With a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.3 (High), this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity, potentially leading to limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no public exploit code or active exploitation has been observed, and community discussion is minimal, the inherent risk of directory traversal warrants attention.
