Technical details
A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in the AIL framework's '/objects/item/diff' endpoint. The endpoint processes item identifiers via the 's1' and 's2' query parameters without verifying if the requested items are valid AIL objects before attempting to retrieve their content. An authenticated attacker can provide malicious paths containing traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to force the application to read files from the local filesystem. The impact is limited to files that the AIL process has permission to read and that conform to the expected gzip-compressed format used by the framework. The vulnerability was addressed in version 6.8.0 by implementing existence checks for items before content access.
