Threats affecting pkg:golang/GoFound

GoFound through 1.4.1 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary directories by supplying ../ sequences in the database parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to /api/db/create and /api/db/drop, directly or via a victim's browser, triggering os.RemoveAll on directories outside the data directory.

GoFound versions up to 1.4.1 contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts by submitting document text to the /api/index endpoint. The injected HTML is returned unescaped by searcher/engine.go and rendered with v-html in dashboard.vue, leading to script execution in an administrator's browser when a search matches the malicious document.
