Authenticated file read and write via path traversal
Published Sep 10, 2025 · Updated Sep 10, 2025
Path traversal in KodCloud KodBox 1.61 allows remote authenticated users to read or write files via a crafted editor path. The fileGet and fileSave methods in app/controller/explorer/editor.class.php use the attacker-controlled path without restricting it to an authorized directory. A low-privileged account is required; fileGet exposes file contents, while fileSave can overwrite files reachable by the server process.
