Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVE-2021-43775
Summary
Aim is an open-source, self-hosted machine learning experiment tracking tool. Versions of Aim prior to 3.1.0rc1 are vulnerable to a path traversal attack. By manipulating variables that reference files with “dot-dot-slash (../)� sequences and its variations or by using absolute file paths, it may be possible to access arbitrary files and directories stored on file system including application source code or configuration and critical system files. The vulnerability issue is resolved in Aim v3.1.0rc1.

CWE-22 - Path Traversal
Path traversal (or directory traversal), is a vulnerability that allows malicious users to traverse the server's root directory, gaining access to arbitrary files and folders such as application code & data, back-end credentials, and sensitive operating system files. In the worst-case scenario, an attacker could potentially execute arbitrary files on the server, resulting in a denial of service attack. Such an exploit may severely impact the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of an application.
