Description
GoFound through 1.4.1 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary directories by supplying ../ sequences in the database parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to /api/db/create and /api/db/drop, directly or via a victim's browser, triggering os.RemoveAll on directories outside the data directory.

AI Analysis

Impact

GoFound 1.4.1 contains a path traversal flaw that lets an unauthenticated attacker pass directory traversal sequences in the database parameter of the /api/db/create and /api/db/drop endpoints. By exploiting the os.RemoveAll call, the attacker can delete arbitrary directories outside the intended data directory, causing destructive data loss and potential service disruption.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Sea‑Team GoFound product, specifically version 1.4.1. Any installation that exposes the /api/db/create or /api/db/drop API endpoints and runs that version is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 reflects high severity for an unauthenticated, remote attack over HTTP. The exploit requires only a crafted GET request to the vulnerable endpoints, making it straightforward for attackers with network access. EPSS is not available, but the simplicity of the attack path indicates a high likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability has not yet been listed in CISA's KEV catalog.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade GoFound to a version where the path traversal issue is fixed (e.g., 1.4.2 or later).
  • Restrict or disable the /api/db/create and /api/db/drop endpoints if they are not essential, or enforce network authentication so that only trusted clients can reach them.
  • Implement server‑side input validation that rejects directory traversal sequences in the database parameter, such as rejecting any ".." or path separators and allowing only a whitelist of safe characters.
