Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In Blogifier.Core, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Blogifier 2.3 before 2019-05-11 does not properly restrict APIs, as demonstrated by missing checks for `..` in a pathname. The issue is patched in the `2.4` branch, but `2.5.5` is the lowest available patched version on https://www.nuget.org/packages/Blogifier.Core.
