DescriptionCVE.org

Streambert is a cross-platform Electron Desktop App to stream and download video content. Prior to 2.6.0, the perform-scheduled-backup IPC handler in src/ipc/storage.js takes settings.path from a renderer-supplied object and uses the resulting directory for fs.mkdirSync, fs.writeFileSync, fs.readdirSync, and fs.unlinkSync operations without checking that it is inside an authorized backup location. A compromised renderer can choose an absolute path or a relative traversal path to create directories and write a streambert-backup-[timestamp].json file containing renderer-controlled data. The pruning loop can also delete files in that directory whose names begin with streambert-backup- and end with .json. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6.0.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in Streambert's Electron desktop app before version 2.6.0 allows a compromised renderer process to direct the privileged main process to create directories, write renderer-controlled JSON data, and delete files at arbitrary filesystem locations outside the intended backup directory. The vulnerable perform-scheduled-backup IPC handler in src/ipc/storage.js accepts settings.path from the renderer without validating it against an authorized backup location, enabling traversal via absolute paths or ../../-style sequences. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the attacker has the ability to execute JavaScript within Streambert's Electron renderer process and invoke the `perform-scheduled-backup` IPC handler with a renderer-controlled `settings.path` value - for example, through an XSS or script injection vector in content rendered by the app. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.4 with vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:H/VA:H/SC:L/SI:H/SA:H accurately reflects the threat model. … 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 Streambert to version 2.6.0 or later, which resolves this vulnerability via the changes introduced in pull request #149 (https://github.com/truelockmc/streambert/pull/149) and commit 43566ed031183b046675761c9813c5379b619269. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Streambert installations in your environment and identify versions prior to 2.6.0 to quantify exposure scope. …
