This is due to insufficient path validation in the handle_big_object_download_request function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and a valid access token, to read arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information such as database credentials and authentication keys."}], "lastModified": "2025-12-12T15:17:31.973", "sourceIdentifier": "[email protected]"}
