CVE-2020-36009Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary file download via backslash traversal

Published Jun 3, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Path traversal in c/g.php in SomeBottle OBottle 2.0 allows remote attackers to download arbitrary files via a crafted POST request. The getpage handler accepts the p parameter and leaves backslash parent sequences usable to bypass its traversal filtering. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation exposes files readable by the web server.
