Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Etherpad versions 1.1.1 through 1.5.2
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by leveraging replacement of backslashes with slashes in the
path parameter of HTTP API requests, such as "/api/*" endpoints.Recommendations
For versions 1.1.1 through 1.5.2, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
Minify.js file in the node/utils directory until a patch is available. Avoid using the path parameter in affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
