Etherpad · Etherpad · CVE-2015-3309
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Etherpad versions 1.1.2 through 1.5.4
Description:
A directory traversal issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files with the permissions of the user running the service. This is achieved by including a .. (dot dot) in the `path` parameter of HTTP API requests.
Recommendations:
For versions 1.1.2 through 1.5.4, 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 HTTP API requests until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
