CVE-2026-101067 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.3 · Published 2026-09-28

DbGate is a database management and IDE tool. A path traversal vulnerability in its file upload endpoint allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the server (such as /etc/shadow) and write files to any directory on the system. This can lead to data theft, system compromise, and potential code execution.

## Technical details

The saveUploadedFile endpoint in files.js fails to validate the filePath and fileName parameters before using them in fs.copyFile() and path.join() operations. An unauthenticated attacker can supply an arbitrary source path to read sensitive files and use directory traversal sequences (../) in fileName to write to locations outside the intended upload directory. The vulnerability affects default deployments that allow anonymous access.
