## Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the getEmailHTML action of admin/ajax.php that fails to properly validate the email parameter. An authenticated back-office user can supply relative path sequences (such as ../) to bypass directory restrictions and read arbitrary files from the system. The vulnerability requires prior authentication but allows access to sensitive files outside the intended directory scope.
