Authenticated file disclosure via ScapResultDownload path traversal
Published Nov 10, 2022 · Updated Apr 30, 2025
Path traversal in SUSE Manager Server 4.2 and Server Module 4.2 through 4.3 allows remote authenticated users to read server files. ScapResultDownload resolves the name parameter outside the OpenSCAP report location without confining the resulting path to that directory. A valid management session is required, and disclosure is limited to files readable by the Tomcat account or its groups.
