Summary

A path traversal vulnerability in mustafaakin/cast-localvideo (all versions) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read arbitrary files from the server. The app.js handler at lines 151-153 passes the user-supplied req.body.dir parameter directly to res.sendFile() without sanitization, enabling directory traversal via absolute paths or ../ sequences to read sensitive system files.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can read sensitive files such as configuration files, credentials, or user data, leading to confidentiality breaches.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update cast-localvideo to a patched version or implement path validation to prevent access to files outside the allowed directory.
