Description

Frappe Learning Management System (LMS) is a learning system that helps users structure their content. Prior to version 2.52.1, a remote attacker can request a traversal path handled by SCORMRenderer.render in lms/page_renderers.py. The renderer constructs and opens a server-side path without first confirming that its real path remains within public/scorm, allowing files outside the SCORM directory to be read when they are accessible to the server process. This issue is fixed in version 2.52.1.

• CWE-22Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
