Arbitrary file read via testfs path traversal
Published Jan 20, 2023 · Updated Apr 3, 2025
Path traversal in Uber Kraken 0.1.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to read files accessible to the testfs server. The testfs downloadHandler joins the wildcard suffix of an unauthenticated /files/ request to its storage root without rejecting traversal segments, then opens and returns the resolved file. The testfs HTTP handler must be exposed, and disclosure is limited to files readable by the Kraken process.
