Node Red · Node-Red · 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.
