## How to fix

- Fixed in 1.0.46

## Technical details

The /api/system/files/content endpoint fails to properly validate absolute paths supplied in the path parameter, allowing path traversal despite an isProtectedPath check that is insufficient. An attacker with stacks:edit permission can read arbitrary files including /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, SSH keys, and git credentials from the Dockhand container filesystem by supplying absolute paths that bypass the protection list.

## Affected products

- Finsys Dockhand before 1.0.46
