CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe dataCycle-CORE module, prior to version 25.07.3, is vulnerable to directory traversal attacks due to inadequate sanitization of user-controlled path segments. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to access and render arbitrary markdown files from outside the intended directories, potentially exposing sensitive information. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to version 26.06.08 to mitigate this high-severity risk.

Original NVD Description
dataCycle is a data management system for centrally storing, managing, searching, finding, and distributing data. In dataCycle-CORE, the module handling core processing and framework rules, before and including version 25.07.3, the documentation and static markdown renderer accepts attacker-controlled path segments and only runs them through the Rails HTML sanitizer, which does not remove directory traversal sequences. An unauthenticated attacker can traverse out of the intended `docs` or `static` directories and render arbitrary `.md` files from the application root or engine root. This is patched in version 26.06.08.
