amousset published GHSA-h66x-c5pj-f5f8 Apr 24, 2025

Package

rudder-server (rudder)

Affected versions

< 8.1.11
>= 8.2.0, < 8.2.4

Patched versions

8.1.11
8.2.4

Description

Impact

The resource API /api/resourceExplorer is vulnerable to path traversal, allowing to write arbitrary files on the file system.

Impact is rated low as accessing the affected API requires write access to the techniques, which already gives indirect write access to the Rudder server. There is hence no real privilege escalation.

Workarounds

Relative Path Traversal

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize sequences such as .. that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. Learn more on MITRE.
