Server file disclosure via unsanitized backup filename
Published May 1, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Path traversal in nopCommerce 4.50.1 allows remote authenticated users to read server files through a crafted backup filename. The BackupAction method passes the submitted backupFileName to GetBackupPath without first reducing it to a safe basename, allowing traversal outside the backup directory. Reaching the action requires access to the administrative Maintenance feature; exploitation discloses files readable by the application account.
