## Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in Bagisto v2.4.1 within the ImageCacheController component. The flaw is caused by improper validation of user-supplied input in the 'filename' parameter. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted requests containing directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to bypass intended directory restrictions. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to read sensitive system files, including application configurations and environment variables. The issue is resolved in version v2.4.2.
