Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the /services/forwarder/expose endpoint of gvproxy due to insufficient validation of the caller-supplied socket path parameter. This unauthenticated endpoint allows remote attackers to traverse the filesystem and delete arbitrary files on the host system. No user interaction or authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.
