Remote file disclosure via unconstrained filePath
Published Sep 24, 2026 · Updated Sep 24, 2026
Path traversal in DbGate 7.2.0 through 7.2.5 and 7.3.1-premium-beta.0 through 7.3.1-premium-beta.1 allows remote attackers to read files. The loadFrom handler in packages/api/src/controllers/files.js passes the attacker-controlled filePath directly to fs.readFile without confining it to an allowed directory. Reachability requires the Electron-hosted API path; successful traversal discloses files readable by the DbGate process, while write or code execution is not established.
