Technical details

The vulnerability is a classic path traversal flaw where insufficient input validation on URL parameters allows dot-dot-slash (../) sequences to escape the intended directory. An unauthenticated network attacker can request arbitrary files on the system by sending specially crafted HTTP requests, gaining read access to files outside the application's intended file serving scope.
