A path traversal vulnerability exists within GoAnywhere MFT before 6.8.3 that utilize self-registration for the GoAnywhere Web Client. This vulnerability could potentially allow an external user who self-registers with a specific username and/or profile information to gain access to files at a higher directory level than intended.
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.
