CVE-2023-1034Network attack vector

Authenticated arbitrary file read via backslash traversal

Published Feb 25, 2023 · Updated Mar 11, 2025

Path traversal in SuiteCRM before 7.12.9 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files through crafted file_path input. The affected handler accepts a backslash-based ..\filename sequence in file_path without confining the resolved path to its intended directory. A low-privileged SuiteCRM account is required, and the CNA assessment limits impact to disclosure rather than file modification or service interruption.
