Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the RestoreRequest.php component of the database-servers API endpoint, where the schema_name argument is not properly validated. An attacker can craft a malicious schema_name parameter containing path traversal sequences (e.g., "../") to access files outside the intended directory. Successful exploitation requires network access and a moderate understanding of the application's file structure; the fix is available in version 1.7.2.
