Technical details
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the `managementServer.CreateSchematic` function within `internal/backend/grpc/schematics.go`. The `TalosVersion` field is passed without sanitization to `imageFactoryClient.OverlaysVersions`, where it is used to construct a URL path. Because `url.URL.JoinPath` resolves `../` sequences, an authenticated Operator can traverse the API path on the configured image-factory server. This allows for Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) limited to the image-factory host, where error responses from unintended endpoints are reflected back to the user, potentially leaking internal diagnostics. The issue is fixed in versions 1.6.6 and 1.7.3.
