Summary
plugNmeet Server through 2.5.2 is affected. A path traversal flaw (CWE-22) in the whiteboard conversion endpoint lets a meeting participant supply crafted filePath values that point outside the intended directory, so the server reads files it should not expose. The converted page images can then be fetched without authentication through the download path. The references link an exploit, and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as poc.
