Unauthenticated file read and write via raw paths
Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026
Missing authentication in TEN Framework 0.11.71 allows remote attackers to read or write arbitrary files through TMAN Designer. Its file-content handlers pass caller-supplied paths directly to read_to_string, create_dir_all, and write without authentication or path confinement. Network access to the default Designer listener is sufficient to disclose process-readable data or place content in writable paths, including files that enable code execution.
