Code execution via unrestricted log-file path
Published Aug 27, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026
Path traversal in Flowintel 3.3.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code through a configurable log-file path. The system_settings_save handler accepts LOG_FILE as an unrestricted string, and logging appends attacker-influenced content to that chosen path. Administrator access is required to redirect the log; execution also requires injected template content to be rendered by the application.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
