CVE-2015-10043Network attack vector

Authenticated file access via unchecked path parameter

Published Jan 14, 2023 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

Path traversal in Alexander Breen Apollo allows remote authenticated users to view or delete files via a crafted file parameter. The delete.php, download.php, and view_file.php endpoints pass the unvalidated file query value into deletion or submission-path operations instead of rejecting directory components. An authenticated student account is required, and successful exploitation exposes or removes files that the web application account can reach.
