CVE-2026-60114 sustainable irrigation platform vulnerability
Sustainable Irrigation Platform (SIP) through version 5.2.16 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows attackers with access to the restore functionality to write files to arbitrary locations by uploading crafted JSON backup files with unvalidated keys used to construct file paths. Attackers can exploit the lack of key validation in the JSON restore process, combined with the absence of a required passphrase in the default configuration or the default passphrase 'opendoor', to write arbitrary JSON files outside the intended data directory.
Quick answer
dan-in-ca sustainable irrigation platform should be reviewed and updated if it matches the affected versions. The recommended fix is to apply the vendor-supported patched version or the mitigation steps below, then retest the public website with Fixnx.

How to fix it
CVE-2026-60114 affects Sustainable Irrigation Platform. The restore feature can accept crafted backup data and write files outside the safe data folder. Update SIP and remove weak or default restore passphrases.
- Upgrade Sustainable Irrigation Platform to a version that validates restore backup keys and blocks path traversal.
- Disable restore access for normal users and allow it only for trusted administrators.
- Change the default restore passphrase immediately and use a long unique value.
- Review recent restore uploads and check whether files were written outside the intended data directory.
- Keep web server file permissions tight so the application cannot write to system or code folders.
