Wazuh versions from 4.1.1 to prior to 4.14.8 are affected by a path traversal vulnerability that impacts the get_lists() and delete_list_file() functions. This flaw allows compromised cluster workers to exploit the internal cluster RPC path, enabling them to read or delete sensitive master files, such as rbac.db, bypassing important REST validation and role-based access control (RBAC). This vulnerability poses significant risks to data integrity and system security.
