Technical details
The vulnerability is a path traversal issue (CWE-22) in Total.js CMS version 12.0.0 affecting the page inclusion functionality. An authenticated user with the Pages privilege can use directory traversal sequences (../) to access .html files outside the intended directory. If a traversed .html file contains template directives, the server processes them server-side, allowing template injection. An attacker who controls the content of an accessible .html file can inject malicious template directives to achieve remote code execution. The vulnerability requires authentication and the Pages privilege to exploit, and works only with .html file extensions.
