CVE-2021-21298

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Node-RED versions 1.2.7 and earlier

Description: The issue allows arbitrary path traversal via the Projects API. If the Projects feature is enabled, a user with projects.read permission can access any file via the Projects API. The vulnerability applies only to the Projects feature, which is not enabled by default in Node-RED.

Recommendations: For Node-RED versions 1.2.7 and earlier, update to Node-RED 1.2.8 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, do not give untrusted users read access to the Node-RED editor.
