AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Deepractice PromptX versions 2.0 through 2.4.0 contain an absolute path traversal vulnerability in the Document File Handler component's file reading functions. By manipulating the argument path, an attacker can remotely access files outside the intended directories. The vulnerability is present in the source file packages/mcp-office/src/index.ts. Although publicly disclosed, no official remediation or patch has been issued by the vendor as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the affected system by bypassing intended file path restrictions.
