CVE-2022-24843Network attack vector

Arbitrary file read via unchecked Excel filename

Published Apr 13, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Path traversal in Gin-Vue-Admin before 2.5.1 allows attackers to read arbitrary server files through the Excel API. The DownloadTemplate handler concatenates its fileName query value directly to the configured Excel directory and passes the result to c.File without rejecting traversal sequences. Reachability depends on access to the Excel download route; successful exploitation discloses files readable by the service account but does not modify data or interrupt service.
