Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability in HandleTranslationFileUpload allowed authenticated non-administrative users to upload files with crafted names that could escape the intended storage directory. The vulnerable code in FileHelper.cs used simple string replacement to construct the new file path without validating that the resolved path remained under the web root or data directory. An attacker could use directory traversal sequences (e.g., "../") in the upload filename to write files outside intended boundaries, leading to unauthorized file placement or overwrite.
