CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

Wekan versions prior to 9.31 are vulnerable, allowing authenticated board members to exploit the /attachments/insert DDP method to read arbitrary files on the server due to insufficient path validation. This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized file access and potential denial of service through specially crafted files. Organizations using Wekan should prioritize upgrading to version 9.31 to mitigate these risks.

Original NVD Description

Wekan is open source kanban built with Meteor. Prior to 9.31, Wekan allows a logged-in board member to insert an attachment document through the /attachments/insert DDP method with attacker-controlled versions.original.path and versions.original.storage fields. The server/permissions/attachments.js insert rule checks only board write access, and FileStoreStrategyFilesystem.getReadStream() in models/lib/fileStoreStrategy.js streams the stored path without a storage-root containment check, allowing arbitrary file reads and denial of service through special files such as /dev/zero. This issue is fixed in version 9.31.
