Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in BiblioCraft up to 2.4.5. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown code block of the component Filename Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

BiblioCraft before 2.4.6 does not sanitize path-traversal characters in filenames, allowing restricted write access to almost anywhere on the filesystem. This includes the Minecraft mods folder, which results in code execution.
