Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
LORIS (Longitudinal Online Research and Imaging System) is a self-hosted web application that provides data- and project-management for neuroimaging research. From 24.0.0 to before 27.0.3 and 28.0.1, an incorrect order of operations in the FilesDownloadHandler could result in an attacker escaping the intended download directories. This vulnerability is fixed in 27.0.3 and 28.0.1.
Analysis
Path traversal in LORIS neuroimaging research platform versions 24.0.0 through 27.0.2 and 28.0.0 allows authenticated attackers to bypass directory restrictions in FilesDownloadHandler, enabling unauthorized access to files outside intended download directories. The vulnerability exploits incorrect operation ordering during file access validation, permitting low-privileged authenticated users to exfiltrate sensitive neuroimaging data and project files across organizational boundaries. …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Inventory all LORIS instances and confirm affected versions (24.0.0-27.0.2, 28.0.0-28.0.2). Within 7 days: Implement network-level access controls restricting FilesDownloadHandler endpoints to necessary users only; conduct data access logs review for suspicious file downloads outside standard research workflows. …
