CVSS Score of 10 (low)
Details
Summary
A path traversal (directory traversal) vulnerability, identified as CVE-2023-36827, affects versions of Fides, an open-source privacy engineering platform, that are lower than version 2.15.1. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to access arbitrary files on the fides webserver container's filesystem. The vulnerability has been patched in fides version 2.15.1. However, if the Fides webserver API is not directly accessible and is deployed behind a recommended reverse proxy like an AWS application load balancer, the vulnerability cannot be exploited by attackers. Additionally, secrets supplied to the container using environment variables instead of a configuration file are not affected by this vulnerability. The danger posed to organizations depends on their deployment and security practices with regards to Fides and its webserver API.
