CVE-2024-22050: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Path traversal in the static file service in Iodine less than 0.7.33 allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to read files outside the public folder via malicious URLs.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-22050 involves improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory (CWE-22) in Iodine's static file service prior to version 0.7.33. An attacker can exploit this flaw remotely without authentication to access files outside the designated public folder by using specially crafted URLs that traverse directories. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored on the affected system.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read arbitrary files outside the public folder, potentially exposing sensitive data. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (high impact) but does not affect integrity or availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official fix information is currently provided. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the affected service and monitor for suspicious URL requests that may attempt path traversal.
