AI-suggested
Until a fix is available, restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint and monitor for suspicious file uploads. Implement strict input validation and filtering on the directory parameter if possible.
Description
LZ-litchi version 1.0.0 contains a critical vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files and perform path traversal via the directory parameter in the file upload API endpoint. This can lead to files being written outside the intended storage directory, potentially resulting in full system compromise.
