## Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in openSIS Classic 9.3 within the legacy messaging module. The flaw is located in the functionality responsible for downloading attachments from sent mail. An authenticated attacker can provide specially crafted input containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to bypass directory restrictions. This allows the attacker to read arbitrary files on the underlying server filesystem with the privileges of the web server process. The attack requires network access and valid user credentials but no special administrative privileges.
