Sensitive file disclosure via listing path traversal
Published Feb 7, 2025 · Updated Feb 11, 2025
Path traversal in the File Listing function of dhtmlxFileExplorer 8.4.6 allows remote attackers to read sensitive files. The handler resolves attacker-controlled traversal paths outside its intended root; public records do not identify the parameter or code-level check. No privileges or user interaction are required from an adjacent network, and the documented consequence is confidentiality loss only.
