Summary

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities exist in Koha library software versions prior to 3.14.16, 3.16.12, 3.18.08, and 3.20.1. These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to exploit the 'template_path' parameter, potentially leading to unauthorized access and reading of arbitrary files on the server. This is achieved through specially crafted requests using dot dot encoded slashes, posing significant risks to data integrity and privacy.
