Authenticated file disclosure via workspace path traversal
Published Oct 30, 2024 · Updated Jul 5, 2026
Path traversal in SAS Studio 9.4 allows remote authenticated users to read internal files through its workspace download endpoint. The workspace route accepts an attacker-controlled InternalPath and resolves it beyond the default path during file download. Access requires an authorized session, and SAS disputes the issue because those filesystem paths are intentionally available to authorized users.
