Description

The CivetWeb web library does not validate uploaded filepaths when running on an OS other than Windows, when using the built-in HTTP form-based file upload mechanism, via the mg_handle_form_request API. Web applications that use the file upload form handler, and use parts of the user-controlled filename in the output path, are susceptible to directory traversal

Weaknesses (CWE)

  • CWE-23 — Relative Path Traversal
  • CWE-22 — Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory
