Authenticated code execution via unchecked file paths
Published Jan 30, 2026 · Updated Jan 30, 2026
Path traversal in Crafty Controller 4.7.0 allows remote authenticated users to read and write host files through the File Operations API. Copy and move handlers accept relative or absolute source and target paths without verifying that resolved paths remain inside the managed server directory. An account or API key with FILES permission can overwrite a Jinja template for code execution or read the database to forge administrator tokens.
