Authenticated file disclosure via unsanitized backup filename
Published Jun 5, 2023 · Updated Jan 8, 2025
Path traversal in SonicJS 0.5.4 through 0.7.0 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files through CMS backups. The legacy CMS backup-download handler uses an administrator-controlled backup filename as a filesystem path without sanitizing traversal characters. Administrative access and knowledge of a target path are required, and the demonstrated consequence is disclosure of readable local files.
