The DirectoryResource in Apache Juneau fails to limit request paths to its configured root directory. When view, upload or delete settings are enabled, unauthenticated clients can read, write or delete files outside the root over the network. This affects Apache Juneau through 9.2.0. An attacker gains arbitrary file access.

What to do: Upgrade Apache Juneau to 9.2.1. No workaround provided.

Description · NVD

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Apache Juneau. The microservice DirectoryResource does not keep request paths inside its configured root directory. When an application enables the resource's view, upload or delete settings (all off by default), a client can read, write or delete files outside the root, anywhere the server process has access. This issue affects Apache Juneau: through 9.2.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.2.1, which fixes the issue.
