Unauthenticated arbitrary file read via unvalidated key
Published Sep 25, 2025 · Updated Sep 25, 2025
Improper access control in ML-Logger 0.10.36 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files through the stream endpoint. The stream_handler function passes the request body's unvalidated key to abs_path and then file_stream, permitting absolute paths such as /proc/self/cmdline. No authentication or user interaction is required; exposure is limited to files readable by the server process.
