The API used to interact with documents in the application contains a flaw that allows an authenticated attacker to read the contents of files on the underlying operating system. An account with ‘read’ and ‘download’ privileges on at least one existing document in the application is required to exploit the vulnerability. Exploitation of this vulnerability would allow an attacker to read the contents of any file available within the privileges of the system user running the application.
Workaround:
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize sequences such as ".." that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
