Administrator file read via path traversal
Published Oct 5, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Path traversal in jamesdlow CSS JS Files 1.5.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files. The published advisory does not identify the affected handler or explain how it accepts and resolves attacker-controlled path input outside an intended directory. Administrator privileges are required, and the documented consequence is file disclosure without file modification or service interruption.
