Authenticated file disclosure via unchecked path concatenation
Published Jul 11, 2025 · Updated Jul 11, 2025
Path traversal in kone-net go-chat allows remote authenticated users to read server files through crafted fileName path segments. GetFile appends the route parameter directly to StaticPath.FilePath and passes the result to ioutil.ReadFile without validation or canonical containment. A low-privileged account can traverse beyond the upload directory and receive any file readable by the server process.
