Technical details
A directory traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in 4C Strategies Exonaut versions prior to 21.6.2.1-1 and 22.4. The flaw stems from improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory, which can be exploited by a remote, unauthenticated attacker via network requests. By using specially crafted input containing 'dot-dot-slash' (../) sequences, an attacker can navigate outside the intended web root to read or potentially modify files on the underlying file system. The vulnerability is resolved in versions 21.6.2.1-1 and 22.4.
