A file path traversal vulnerability was identified in the DelimitedFileConnector Cloud Connector that allowed an authenticated administrator to set arbitrary connector attributes, including the “file“ attribute, which in turn allowed the user to access files uploaded for other sources.
Solution:
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.
