CVE-2024-6789Network attack vector

Authenticated file disclosure via API path traversal

Published Aug 27, 2024 · Updated Feb 23, 2026

Path traversal in an M-Files Server API endpoint before 24.8.13981.0 allows remote authenticated users to read files from the server. M-Files identifies only an API endpoint and has not disclosed the endpoint, parameter, or precise path-validation failure. A valid account and network access to the API are required; the documented consequence is file disclosure without file modification or service interruption.
