CVE-2024-12362Network attack vector

Authenticated file disclosure via unchecked invoice path

Published Dec 16, 2024 · Updated Dec 16, 2024

Path traversal in InvoicePlane 1.6.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read server files through invoice downloads. The invoices controller's download() method URL-decodes the invoice path and passes it directly to readfile() under the uploads archive directory without reducing it to a basename or verifying the resolved path. A low-privileged authenticated account can escape that directory and disclose readable server files; no write or service-interruption impact is reported.
