CVE-2025-55202 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.opencastproject:opencast-user-interface-configuration to version 18.5 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Relative Path Traversal via insufficient validation in the getConfigFile function in the UIConfigRest class. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to files located in directories that share a common prefix with the intended folder by crafting specific path inputs.
Note: While the fix was implemented in 17.7 and 18.1, only 18.5 has been published to Maven Central.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by checking for folders that start with the same path as the ui-config folder.
