Advisory Weakness Curation

Path traversal in Node-Red ### Impact This vulnerability allows arbitrary path traversal via the Projects API. If the Projects feature is enabled, a user with `projects.read` permission is able to access any file via the Projects API. ### Patches The issue has been patched in Node-RED 1.2.8 ### Workarounds The vulnerability applies only to the Projects feature which is not enabled by default in Node-RED. The primary workaround is not give untrusted users read access to the Node-RED editor. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Email us at [team@nodered.org](mailto:team@nodered.org) ### Acknowledgements Thanks to the Tencent Woodpecker Security Team for disclosing this vulnerability.

Path Traversal Node-Red is a low-code programming for event-driven applications built using nodejs. Node-RED has a vulnerability which allows arbitrary path traversal via the Projects API.
