CVE-2022-31202Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated file disclosure via unfiltered path parameters

Published Jul 17, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Path traversal in SoftGuard Web before 5.1.5 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary local files through export or man.tcl. The export handler accepts an unfiltered query parameter as a complete file path, while man.tcl uses attacker-controlled x data to select a file. Any authenticated account that can reach these functions can disclose files readable with the application's privileges, including password-bearing files.
