Unauthenticated arbitrary file read via path traversal
Published Oct 3, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Path traversal in Social Web Suite 4.1.11 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary server files through download_log. The download_log function fails to confine a request-controlled file path to the intended log directory, permitting parent-directory traversal. No authentication or user interaction is required; the documented consequence is confidentiality loss, with no file modification or service interruption.
