Ail-project vulnerabilities

AIL Framework contains a path traversal vulnerability in its PDF object handling. Prior to commit 14c618fce4d1df02358717c48ea903706abecdf2, the PDF.get_filepath() function constructed a file path by joining the configured PDF storage directory with a path derived from a PDF object identifier, without verifying that the resolved path remained within the intended PDF_FOLDER directory. An authenticated attacker able to invoke PDF object operations with a crafted identifier could use relative traversal sequences or absolute path components to cause AIL Framework to open files located outside the PDF storage directory. This could allow disclosure of files readable by the AIL process, including application configuration, credentials, or other sensitive local data. This vulnerability is potential due to additional errors before being able to be executed. The fix canonicalises the resulting path with os.path.realpath() and rejects paths whose common directory is outside the configured PDF directory.

A path traversal vulnerability exists in AIL Framework before the release containing commit 0041456af25da0cdea1c1c4624e46baff2731d8f. An authenticated AIL user can supply crafted object identifiers through the investigation workflow to cause file paths to resolve outside the intended image, favicon, or screenshot storage directories. This may allow the attacker to download and read arbitrary files that are accessible to the AIL process. The issue occurs because user-controlled path components were joined with application storage paths without verifying that the resolved path remained within the expected directory. The affected download functionality could then include the contents of such files in a generated archive.
