CVE-2023-45855Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated attachment listing via exposed uploads index

Published Oct 14, 2023 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Path traversal in qdPM 9.2 allows remote attackers to list uploaded files and directories by requesting the /uploads URI. The web-accessible uploads directory returns its index instead of blocking direct browsing after a project attachment is added. Exploitation is unauthenticated, but visible data is limited to attachment names and directory structure beneath /uploads; published evidence does not demonstrate access outside that directory.
