Impact
In SFTPGo versions prior to 2.7.1, a path normalization discrepancy between the protocol handlers and the internal Virtual Filesystem routing can lead to an authorization bypass. An authenticated attacker can craft specific file paths to bypass folder-level permissions or escape the boundaries of a configured Virtual Folder.
Patches
This issue has been addressed in SFTPGo version 2.7.1. The fix introduces strict edge-level path normalization, ensuring that all protocol inputs are fully sanitized and resolved to canonical POSIX paths before any routing or permission evaluations occur.
AnalysisAI
SFTPGo versions prior to 2.7.1 contain a path normalization vulnerability (CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory) that allows authenticated attackers to bypass folder-level permissions and escape Virtual Folder boundaries through crafted file paths. An attacker with valid credentials can exploit this authorization bypass to access files and directories beyond their intended scope. …
