NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream thumbor package and not the thumbor package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Thumbor is an open-source photo thumbnail service by globo.com. Prior to 7.8.0, file_loader decodes percent-encoded path segments after its root-boundary validation, allowing traversal outside FILE_LOADER_ROOT_PATH through watermark or frame filter input. This issue is fixed in 7.8.0.
