CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedLeafWiki versions 0.3.0 through 0.10.0 are vulnerable to a path traversal flaw in the asset rename functionality, allowing authenticated users with editor permissions to expose sensitive files, including the application database, as downloadable assets. Organizations using these versions should prioritize updating to 0.10.1 or later to mitigate this high-severity risk. In the interim, it is crucial to restrict editor access to trusted users and limit filesystem permissions for the LeafWiki process to minimize potential exploitation.

Original NVD Description
LeafWiki is a self-hosted wiki. Versions 0.3.0 through 0.10.0 have a path traversal vulnerability in LeafWiki’s asset rename functionality. An authenticated user with editor permissions could move files that are accessible to the LeafWiki server process into a page’s asset directory. This could allow sensitive local files, such as the application database, to become downloadable as page assets. Users should update to version 0.10.1 or greater. As an additional mitigation, operators should ensure that the LeafWiki process runs with the least privileges necessary and does not have filesystem access to sensitive files outside the application’s required directories. Until a patch is applied, operators may reduce risk by restricting editor access to trusted users only and by limiting the filesystem permissions of the LeafWiki process.
