Summary

Trudesk through 1.2.11 contains a path traversal and authorization bypass in the accountsController uploadImage function. An authenticated user with low privileges can overwrite other users' avatars by supplying a crafted username, which bypasses the incomplete CVE-2022-1752 sanitization (CWE-22). The attacker can write png, jpg, jpeg, or gif files outside the public/uploads/users directory.
