High
8.8/10

Summary

Pimcore is an Open Source Data & Experience Management Platform: PIM, MDM, CDP, DAM, DXP/CMS & Digital Commerce. In versions prior to 10.6.7 and 11.0.x prior to 11.0.6, a path traversal vulnerability exists in the "AssetController::importServerFilesAction", which allows an attacker to overwrite or modify sensitive files by manipulating the "pimcore_log" parameter. This can lead to potential Denial of Service---key file overwrite. The impact of this vulnerability allows attackers to overwrite or modify sensitive files, potentially leading to unauthorized access, privilege escalation, or disclosure of confidential information. This could also cause a Denial of Service (DoS) if critical system files are overwritten or deleted.

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.
