A path traversal vulnerability exists in the api open_personality_folder endpoint of parisneo/lollms-webui. This vulnerability allows an attacker to read any folder in the personality_folder on the victim's computer, even though sanitize_path is set. The issue arises due to improper sanitization of the personality_folder parameter, which can be exploited to traverse directories and access arbitrary files.
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.
