Technical details
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the public avatar and logo image endpoint that fails to properly confine file access to the intended directory. An unauthenticated attacker can craft requests with directory traversal sequences in the fileName parameter to read arbitrary files from local storage whose filenames match the route's UUID validation. The issue was fixed by implementing proper path normalization and directory confinement checks.
