Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
The Comedy of Errors: Navigating the etcd-browser’s Directory Traversal Vulnerability
The etcd-browser’s server.js file is caught red-faced with a directory traversal vulnerability, paving the way for attackers to flip through your local OS files like a tabloid. All they need is a “/../../../” in a URL’s GET request. No autographs, please!
Hot Take:
So, it seems that the etcd-browser has come down with a case of the "directory traversal" sniffles. A sneaky attacker just needs to drop a "/../../../", like breadcrumbs, into a URL's GET request and voila, they're flipping through your local OS files like a bored teen at a magazine rack. The server.js file, bless its digital heart, just isn't checking the path for files, leading to a case of information oversharing that would make a reality TV star blush.Already a member? Log in here
