## Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in the file upload API of FalkorDB Browser version 1.9.3. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of user-supplied file paths and a lack of authentication on the upload endpoint. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted request to upload arbitrary files to sensitive locations on the server filesystem. This can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution (RCE). A fix involving session validation and improved file path validation has been merged into the project's staging branch.
