Description

Snipe-IT is an IT asset/license management system. Prior to 8.5.0, ActionlogController::displaySig concatenates the route filename parameter into a private upload-directory path without sanitization, allowing an authenticated attacker to traverse outside the intended directory and read arbitrary files accessible to the web server process. This issue is fixed in version 8.5.0.
