CVE-2022-31524
9.3CRITICAL
What is CVE-2022-31524?
The PureStorage OpenConnect repository, particularly versions up to 1.1.5, is susceptible to a path traversal vulnerability due to improper usage of the Flask send_file function. This can allow unauthorized access to the file system, enabling attackers to potentially access sensitive files beyond the application’s intended directory. Proper sanitization and validation measures should be implemented to mitigate this risk.
