CVE-2024-55602Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary file read via unchecked template extension

Published Dec 10, 2024 · Updated Dec 10, 2024

Path traversal in PwnDoc before commit 1d4219c596f4f518798492e48386a20c6e9a2fe6 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files. The template update route validates name but stores an unchecked ext value, and the download route appends it to a path passed to res.download(). An account with template update and read permissions can traverse outside the template directory and retrieve secrets, including configuration data usable to forge tokens.
