A local file disclosure flaw was found in Elastic Code versions 7.3.0, 7.3.1, and 7.3.2. If a malicious code repository is imported into Code it is possible to read arbitrary files from the local filesystem of the Kibana instance running Code with the permission of the Kibana system user.
The product places sensitive information into files or directories that are accessible to actors who are allowed to have access to the files, but not to the sensitive information.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
