CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedCockpit CMS is vulnerable to a path traversal flaw in its Bucket file storage API, allowing authenticated low-privileged users to manipulate bucket names and potentially access, upload, or delete files across all buckets, including those owned by other users. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of bucket names, which permits directory traversal sequences. Organizations using Cockpit CMS should prioritize addressing this issue to prevent unauthorized data access and potential data loss.

Original NVD Description
Cockpit CMS contains a path traversal vulnerability in the Bucket file storage API (/system/buckets/api). The api() method in modules/System/Controller/Buckets.php sanitizes the bucket name with preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9-_\\.]/','', $bucket), which permits '..' and '../' sequences. The sanitized value is interpolated into a Flysystem path as uploads://buckets/{bucket}. Flysystem's WhitespacePathNormalizer resolves 'buckets/..' to the empty string (the uploads storage root) without raising PathTraversalDetected because the '..' has a preceding component to consume. An authenticated low-privileged user can send a crafted request with a '../' bucket name to list, upload, and delete files across all buckets, including those belonging to other users or roles
