Technical details

The vulnerability is a path traversal / local file inclusion (CWE-22) in the saveYZJFile endpoint that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to supply a file: URL via the downloadUrl parameter to read arbitrary files. The endpoint also supports http(s) URLs, enabling server-side request forgery (CWE-918) against internal resources. No authentication or user interaction is required for exploitation; attackers need only network access to the e-Bridge instance.
