FastAdmin lang path traversal
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 16.8% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 97% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: n/a FastAdmin 1.3.4.20220530.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to n/a FastAdmin 1.3.4.20220530 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in FastAdmin up to 1.3.3.20220121. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /index/ajax/lang. The manipulation of the argument lang leads to path traversal. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 1.3.4.20220530 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.
