Authenticated arbitrary file read via path traversal
Published Jul 31, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Path traversal in Tainacan 0.21.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files through get_file. The background-processes REST controller accepts a caller-controlled file path without a capability check or confinement to an intended directory. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and successful requests disclose files readable by the WordPress server process without altering them.
