Summary

Dockhand before 1.0.46 from Finsys contains an arbitrary file read flaw caused by incorrect authorization (CWE-863). A non-admin user with stacks:edit permission can read any file on the host by supplying an absolute path to the path parameter of /api/system/files/content. A remote attacker with low privileges and a valid account can read sensitive files such as /etc/shadow and SSH keys from the Dockhand container.
