AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-93988 describes a path traversal vulnerability in QloApps through version 1.7.0. The vulnerability exists in the getEmailHTML action of admin/ajax.php, where authenticated back-office users can manipulate the email parameter with relative path sequences to bypass directory restrictions. This enables unauthorized reading of arbitrary files on the server, including sensitive configuration and credential files.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated back-office access can exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files on the server. This may lead to exposure of sensitive information such as database credentials and configuration data, increasing the risk of further compromise.
