Flamingoim · Flamingo · CVE-2020-35284
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Flamingo (aka FlamingoIM) through 2020-09-29
**Description**
The issue allows for ../ directory traversal. This is possible because the only unpredictable part of a file-transfer request, an MD5 computation, occurs on the client side. Since the product's source code is available, the computation details can be easily determined, enabling the traversal.
**Recommendations**
For Flamingo (aka FlamingoIM) through 2020-09-29, consider restricting file-transfer requests until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the MD5 computation for file-transfer requests. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
