    Weakness class (CWE)

    CWE-22 · Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

    CVSS vector

    AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

    nvd-primary

    Root cause

    A user-supplied file name is joined with the allowed directory, but the result is never checked to confirm it is still inside that directory.
