Plain English Summary

AI-powered analysis for quick understanding

An attacker can exploit a flaw in Windmill to read any file on the server by manipulating the filename in a specific API request, as long as they know the file's path. This vulnerability affects versions before 1.603.3 and has been fixed in the latest update.

Technical Description

Windmill is an open-source developer platform for internal code: APIs, background jobs, workflows and UIs. Prior to version 1.603.3, an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability exists in Windmill's get_log_file endpoint "(/api/w/{workspace}/jobs_u/get_log_file/{filename})". The filename parameter is concatenated into a file path without sanitization, allowing an attacker to read arbitrary files on the server using ../ sequences. This issue has been patched in version 1.603.3.
