CVE-2023-46497Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated arbitrary folder creation via path traversal

Published Dec 8, 2023 · Updated Oct 9, 2024

Path traversal in EverShop before 1.0.0-rc.8 allows remote authenticated users to create arbitrary directories through product descriptions. The folderCreate/createFolder.js handler passes an unchecked request-body path to mkdirSync after joining it with the media directory. Administrative product-management access is required; crafted parent-directory segments can place empty directories outside the media tree and disrupt filesystem-dependent processes.
