Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in OpenKM Community Edition and Professional Edition up to 6.3.12. This affects some unknown functionality of the file /admin/Scripting of the component Administrative Scripting Interface. The manipulation of the argument fsPath with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22.
