Technical details
A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in Apache IoTDB due to improper limitation of pathnames to restricted directories. An attacker could potentially exploit this by providing specially crafted input containing directory traversal sequences (e.g., '../') to access sensitive files on the host system that should be inaccessible to the application. The vulnerability affects versions 1.0.0 through 1.3.5 and 2.0.0 through 2.0.5. Users are advised to upgrade to versions 1.3.6 or 2.0.6 to remediate the issue.
