Summary
A path traversal vulnerability exists in AIL Framework before the release containing commit 0041456af25da0cdea1c1c4624e46baff2731d8f. An authenticated AIL user can supply crafted object identifiers through the investigation workflow to access files outside the intended directories.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability may allow an attacker to download and read arbitrary files accessible to the AIL process, posing a significant risk to data confidentiality.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update AIL Framework to the version containing the fix and to implement additional path verification mechanisms to prevent similar attacks in the future.
Original NVD description (English source)
A path traversal vulnerability exists in AIL Framework before the release containing commit 0041456af25da0cdea1c1c4624e46baff2731d8f. An authenticated AIL user can supply crafted object identifiers through the investigation workflow to cause file paths to resolve outside the intended image, favicon, or screenshot storage directories. This may allow the attacker to download and read arbitrary files that are accessible to the AIL process. The issue occurs because user-controlled path components were joined with application storage paths without verifying that the resolved path remained within the expected directory. The affected download functionality could then include the contents of such files in a generated archive.
