Network-reachable API requires only a project manager account (PR:L); combined arbitrary file read and fs.unlink produce full C/I/A impact with no scope change.

DescriptionCVE.org

4gaBoards is a boards system for realtime project management. Prior to 3.3.8, 4gaBoards allows an authenticated project manager to supply traversal sequences in the filename parameter of GET /exports/:id/:filename. In server/api/controllers/boards/download.js, the decoded inputs.filename value is passed to path.join() beneath private/exports/<user_id>/ without containment validation. A crafted value such as ../ can select an arbitrary file readable by the server process, and the file is returned to the attacker. The fileStream close handler then passes the same path to fs.unlink(), deleting the selected file and potentially causing data loss or denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 3.3.8.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in 4gaBoards before version 3.3.8 allows authenticated project managers to read and then delete arbitrary files accessible to the server process through a crafted filename parameter in the export download endpoint. The vulnerability in server/api/controllers/boards/download.js passes unsanitized user input directly to path.join() without containment validation, enabling escape from the intended private/exports/<user_id>/ directory. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated session with project manager privileges within the 4gaBoards application; unauthenticated access is not possible (CVSS PR:L confirms authentication is required). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H is well-calibrated for this vulnerability: it is network-reachable, requires no special timing or race conditions, demands only a project manager account, and produces full CIA impact through the combined read-and-delete behavior. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to 4gaBoards version 3.3.8 or later. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all systems running 4gaBoards versions before 3.3.8 and audit which users hold project manager privileges-these are your immediate risk surface. …
