Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-22 and the CVSS impact.
Summary
WookTeam v1.6.6 and before is affected by a directory traversal flaw in its project task export endpoint. The file path supplied inside a crafted JSON payload is concatenated into a storage path without normalization or a directory boundary check (CWE-22). An unauthenticated remote attacker can download any file that the web server process can read.

Description from the CNA
WookTeam v1.6.6 and before is vulnerable to a Directory Traversal. The project task export endpoint /api/project/task/export downloads an arbitrary file from the server when the data parameter is supplied with a crafted JSON payload. The file value inside the JSON is concatenated directly into storage_path($file) without any path normalization or directory boundary check, so directory traversal (../) escapes the storage/ directory and response()->download() streams any file readable by the web server process.
