## Technical details

This path traversal vulnerability exists in the gallery management controller of SP Property, where the directory confinement checks are insufficient or missing. An authenticated attacker can manipulate file paths (using sequences like ../ or similar traversal techniques) to escape the intended gallery directory and access arbitrary files on the server. The vulnerability is present in versions before 4.1.4. Exploitation requires authentication but no additional user interaction. Depending on server permissions, an attacker could read, upload, modify, or delete sensitive files on the system. A patched version 4.1.4 or later resolves the issue by implementing proper directory confinement validation.
