ApostropheCMS is an open-source Node.js content management system. Prior to 3.6.2, the import-export module in packages/import-export/lib/formats/gzip.js constructs an attachment source path from the attacker-controlled _id, name, and extension fields in aposAttachments.json without ensuring that the resolved path remains under the extracted attachments directory, allowing an authenticated contributor to import a crafted archive, read a host file with an allowed extension, and publish the copied file at an unauthenticated uploads URL. This issue is fixed in version 3.6.2.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in ApostropheCMS's import-export module (versions prior to 3.6.2) allows an authenticated contributor to exfiltrate host files and expose them publicly via the CMS uploads URL. By importing a crafted .tar.gz archive with ../ sequences embedded in the _id, name, or extension fields of aposAttachments.json, an attacker causes the module to reconstruct a source path that escapes the extraction directory, reading any host file whose name ends with an allow-listed extension and copying it to a publicly accessible, unauthenticated uploads endpoint. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated account with at least the contributor role on the target ApostropheCMS instance - unauthenticated access is not sufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N scores 6.5 and is well-calibrated for this vulnerability: network-accessible exploitation by a contributor-level authenticated user with no additional complexity. … 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 the `@apostrophecms/import-export` package to version 3.6.2 or later, which resolves the traversal by enforcing string-type validation on `_id`, `name`, and `extension` fields and adding a `path.resolve().startsWith()` boundary check before any attachment source path is accessed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
