DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Outline is a service that allows for collaborative documentation. Prior to 1.4.0, during the JSON import process, the value of attachments[].key from the imported JSON is passed directly to path.join(rootPath, node.key) and then read using fs.readFile without validation. By embedding path traversal sequences such as ../ or absolute paths, an attacker can read arbitrary files on the server and import them as attachments. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.0.

AnalysisAI

Outline versions prior to 1.4.0 fail to validate attachment file paths during JSON import, allowing authenticated attackers with high privileges to traverse the directory structure and read arbitrary files from the server. Public exploit code exists for this path traversal vulnerability, and no patch is currently available for affected deployments.
