What is CVE-2023-35844?

The vulnerability in Lightdash prior to version 0.510.3 arises from insecure file endpoints, which allow attackers to exploit directory traversal. This risk enables unauthorized access to files by bypassing security checks and does not enforce file extension validation, potentially exposing sensitive data in formats such as .csv or .png. Users need to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk and ensure their applications' security.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
